In 1958 he was elected an associate fellow of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA), while in 1965 he was elected full member of the Academy.
He was born on 18 March 1904 in Belgrade (Serbia), where he completed both elementary school and high school. He studied Mathematical Sciences at the University of Belgrade, graduating in 1926. Upon his graduation, he continued his studies in mathematics at the Department for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Technical Engineering in Belgrade, graduating in 1932.
After graduating from the Faculty of Engineering, the French government granted him a scholarship in 1933, so that year he pursued his studies at the Aerotechnical Department of the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr Paris. In 1936 he passed the state PhD exam in aerospace sciences, while in 1937, he was promoted to the title of PhD in Sorbonne. As of 1935, he was a regular associate to the l'Institut Aérotechnique de Saint-Cyr-l'École (Aerotehnical Institute in Saint Cyr) as an assistant professor, an associate of the Breguet aircraft factory and later he was engaged as an associate for Caudron-Renault, while also being engaged as associate for the Air Force Secretariat.

In 1971 he was appointed deputy secretary of the Department of Technical Sciences, while from 1977 to 31 December 1988 he served as Secretary of the Department. During his work at the Academy of Sciences, he participated actively in the work of the Committee for Aeronautics, the Environment Protection Committee, the Energy Committee and the Astronautics Committee. Much of his work, M. Nenadovic dedicated to scientific research and theoretical and experimental study of the aerodynamic design of aircraft, including construction of aircraft while also taking interest in equipment for aerodynamic testing and the influence of wind on the building structures.
