Okay, did they ever name an aircraft after the archaeopteryx?

There is/was a skydiving canopy called the Paradactyl
and a lifting body called Dyna-Soar. Oh yeah, don't
forget the Raptor.

Archaeopteryx technically was not a dinosaur (but then, it wasn't a
bird, either). Then again, if you want to get into flying creatures
other than birds, there is always the Foxbat (really only a NATO
designation, not the airplane's actual name).
