Bendix Helicopter was formed in 1943. The single-seat, coaxial Model K prototype, NX41817, first flew on 30 June 1945. NX41817 flew as a fully enclosed egg-shape apparently by November 1945 to aid the development of the bigger Model J. Although Bendix Helicopter based itself in Stratford, Connecticut, test-flying seems to have been done at Hadley Field in New Jersey.
