It really does demean the company, in my eyes.
Guess it all depends on your interpretation. Is the Harrier a British Aerospace product? Or a McDonnell Douglas product? Neither? Both? Is the F-16 a Lockheed product? Is the F-18 a McDonnell Douglas product? Or a Northrop product? Both? Is Chinook a Boeing product? Is a Boeing product only a Boeing product if it was designed and built in the Seattle area? If so, then this drone is not a Boeing product either. Dreamliner primary structure is built all over the world. Is it a Boeing product? F-35B has tremendous BAE content. Is it a Lockheed product?
