The US kept the name Harrier for their VTOL jet aircraft and the name Pegasus for its engine. The US kept the name Merlin for their R-R designed, but domestically produced V-12 piston engines used in WWII aircraft. On the other hand, the UK kept the name Apache for the AH-64 helos procured from the US.
