Yup, there is general acceptance that any unmanned (unpersonned...) aircraft is a 'drone'. Apart, perhaps, from the drone community itself.

This is presumably because most people are fed up with the drone people inventing yet another acronym / abbreviation every few weeks....RPV, UAV, UCAV, UAS....WTF? It's a sodding DRONE, pure and simple
