I AGREE !!!! Even Bell took their Helicopter word away from their new products and business name. Everything is becoming a 'Vertical Flight' world, so as to allow for machines to be developed by them that don't fit in the 'helicopter' designation.
Kopter just seems hard to say in a sentence if you are an average punter. Ummmm "I'm just going for a fly in the Kopter Helicopter!" ...........someone will think you've said it twice
