'Till the end of his days a creative fire had been roaring in his heart. In the result of merge of two natures, creative and fiery ones, creations of human genius came into life and have been helping us to conquer space and time till now'. These words can be said about the outstanding creator of aircraft engines, the founder of the worldly known Zaporozhye machine-building design office 'Progress', Alexander Grigorievich Ivchenko, whose 100th anniversary was celebrated in 2003.
