Blackhawk 3 Pro: American-made drone for consumers
- ulfw 3y agoIs the Sikorsky helicopter-style naming a trademark violation?
- Someone 3y agoLockheed Martin adds a ® to the name on https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/sikorsky-black-hawk-helicopter.html https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/sikorsky-black..., so somebody seems to have some claim on that name, so maybe, yes. By the way: it’s not Sikorsky-style, it’s US military style. https://www.defense.gov/News/Inside-DOD/Blog/article/2052989/why-army-helicopters-have-native-american-names/ https://www.defense.gov/News/Inside-DOD/Blog/article/2052989... “The tradition of naming helicopters after Native Americans was once an official regulation. That regulation no longer stands, but the tradition continue.” https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products.html?domain=&capability=aircraftrotary https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products.html?domain=&c... also shows Sikorsky doesn’t use this theme for civilian helicopters.

- gnicholas 3y ago> USA Innovated and operated Makes it sound like they’re trying to avoid admitting that, like other drones, these are foreign-made.
- duck 3y agoIt is against the guidelines to edit titles - it should be "Blackhawk 3 Pro". https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- neilv 3y agoParrot offers a drone that's engineered in France & Switzerland, and (to some degree) made in the USA. https://www.parrot.com/us/drones/anafi-usa https://www.parrot.com/us/drones/anafi-usa Anyone have experience with these, or with other drones of unusual provenance?
