Aerospataile had good luck with the Écureuils ihn Europe where the
squirrel is a symbol of economy and frugality. In the USA, the
squirrel had quite a different meaning and it became the A-Star, I
think.

Squirrels are cute even in the US, but it may not be wise to name a
helicopter after something that chases nuts through trees.

Then again, we ship millions of delicate elctronic devices via a freight
company named "OOPS"...

Here's an A-Star used by a Seattle area TV station.
