It is the VOKBM or Voronezhskoyeo-ptyno-Konstruktorkoye Byuro Motorostroyeniya, located in the same city of Voronezh.

- It is currently the leading piston engine manufacturer in the Russian Federation, with roots in I.M. Vedeneev (Vedeneev), which already had the M-3 and M-14 as flagship products designed by Ivchenko.

- Bakanov succeeded Vedeneev in 1973.

- Ivchenko's AI-4 series engines are known.  These engines have four horizontally-opposed cylinders, giving 55 hp at 4,500 rpm.

- They were built between 1948 and 1955, and were used on the Kamov Ka-10 helicopters.

- Also the M-5, M-6, M-7, and M-9.

-From the Bakanov period, the most notable are his horizontal, four-cylinder designs, such as the M-17, producing 175 hp at 2,950 rpm, manufactured between 1992 and 2000.

The M-17F version was a development with an injection system, reaching 200 hp.

On the M-17, the cylinders that appear to be horizontal and opposed are actually arranged in a horizontal X.

The Bakanov M-18-01, with 40 hp, and the -02 version, with 54 hp. Both were carbureted and supercharged.

Finally, the M-19 and VOKBM-29, giving 80 hp, were carbureted and had a reduction gear. There were few differences between the two models.

From Appendix 9: VOKBM or VMP (Voronezh Machine Plant). In the late 1930s and early 1940s, there was an attempt to build lightweight engines in Russia.

- Visits were made to the UK's De Havilland (Gipsy), the Prague-based Walter company, and the French Renault company. Finally, the French "Reno" (Renault) engines were chosen.

- There were certain significant difficulties in construction and performance, such as vibration, corrosion, malfunction at low temperatures (-15°C), etc. The main difficulty was the German invasion, which forced the entire production and machinery to move east to Kazan.

“CF-4 (MT-4)”

- The engines chosen from Renault were the inverted four-cylinder 4P model, later called the MT-4 or CF-4.

“CF-6 (MB-6), reversed”

-The 6Q “Bengali,” which would be renamed MB-6 or CF-6, and the 12-cylinder 12-cylinder, which would become the MV-12.

“12-cylinder (MV-12)”

-Since the aircraft they were intended for were Caudron models of Simoon, Typhoon, etc., they were already outdated and their performance was obsolete for the military aviation needs.

-Most of the built engines (about 100) were 4-cylinder, and it seems they were smelted to recover the aluminum so necessary at the time.

-It also seems that other aircraft waiting for these engines switched to the most common engine in Russia, the M-11.

-This engine was more reliable and easier to obtain, since it was produced by several factories.

- The company is also known as VMP or Voronezh Machine Plant,

- The new 450 hp M-9F (and FS) is announced.

- These are derivatives of the M-14P and M-14B with improvements such as fuel injection and a larger supercharger.

“Voronezh M-9F, 450 CV”

"M-9 left and M-14 right"

- This engine was created to meet the need for more power for the new Sukhoi Su-49 aerobatic aircraft.
