New name from middle/late 1950s of D. K. Jovanovitch's
Helicopter Engineering and Research Corporation,
continuing development of the little JOV-3 tandem-rotor
helicopter. From 1949 this had been entrusted to Aircraft
Division of McCulloch Motors Corporation, which developed
a slightly larger model, the MC-4C. In February 1953
this became the first U.S. tandem-rotor helicopter to receive
commercial certification. Jovair Corporation was formed
some years later and took the design a stage further, resulting
in the Sedan 4E (certificated 1963), of which limited
production began in 1965. In June 1962 Jovair flew the
prototype J-2 two-seat light autogyro; both programs were
taken over 1969-1970 by
