Ivchenko AI-20M

The Ivchenko AI-20M is a turboprop model in the AI-20 engine family, developed for propeller-driven passenger and transport aircraft. The official Ukrainian aviation-industry catalogue lists this exact designation at 4,250 equivalent horsepower for takeoff under sea-level standard-atmosphere conditions, with a dry engine mass of 1,040 kg. The catalogue labels its output as equivalent power, rather than a separately established shaft-only rating. Other AI-20 marks and series have their own entries and operating limits.
