It would be right to state that, with the successful flight of the XR-4 in the summer of 1942, the helicopter became a reality in the United States.

Money lost-nothing lost, Health lost-little lost, Spirit lost-everything lost.

This machine was a failure to the extent that it could not fly. In other respects it was a very important and necessary stepping stone.
