Established in 1927, Zmaj became the third aviation factory in Serbia. Initially, the company produced aircraft under French licensing agreements. By 1932, it began developing indigenous designs crafted by Jovan Petrović and Dragoljub Šterić. Among its various models, Zmaj produced passenger planes such as the Spartans for the domestic airline Aeroput. Up until 1946, the factory completed manufacturing 359 aircraft before ceasing aviation production due to nationalisation and subsequent merger with Rogožarski into what became Ikarus.
