Unfortunately, rotorcraft by their nature have a fairly frequent amount of what the public would call "crashes".
Now in the media the average person will see an article stating "Airbus goes down at night".
How many folks in the world will think the plane they took to see grandma crashed when in reality it had nothing to do with a plane that millions travel on every day but it was a single engine helicopter with one or two on board?

Why not rebrand it with a trendy, edgy name: Chez Rotors!
Seems a pity to excise the allusion to rotary wing.

Latest Airbus shuffle
Airbus merges internal units
Also AH is included in the merger.
Good? Bad?
Any Opinions?

Actually, I see a change in role for the AH boss: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ai...-idUSKCN1200LR
The heads of the company's two other divisions, helicopters boss Guillaume Faury and defense and space chief Dirk Hoke, are expected to assume additional group-wide roles to help drive through Enders' so-called "digital transformation" project

AH dropping the helicopter? Was about time for a new name!

I wonder if in two years it will be renamed to either just "Air" or just "Bus".
Too bad AirBnB is already taken, that would have been something to consider for a merger with Boeing or Bombardier!
Amsterdam, 14 December 2016 – Airbus Group SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) will change its stock market listing name to Airbus in January 2017. This follows the decision announced in September to merge its Group structure with the Commercial Aircraft division. Once the legal proceedings are concluded, Airbus will no longer be a Group with three divisions but rather a commercial aircraft manufacturer with two divisions, "Defence and Space" and "Helicopters".
The integration leads to the introduction of a single Airbus brand for the Group and all its entities.

The loonies are definitely in charge of the asylum.
Enders is a politic's man after all.
Now we have the pending, if not already implemented, nightmare of chasing endless changing of model names
and the issues with all the tech and maintenance data.
Sifting through mounds of garbage to try and find the info you really need.

What is the excitement about? It doesn't look like anything will change to the current Airbus Helicopters model names, it is a stock market listing name change.
