This "Flying Lady" is a nick name for the statue. It is also used as the
name of the national RROC newsletter. There are some Rolls Royce cars that
have a kneeling woman rather than a flying lady on the hood. One version of
why this is used is that in Arab countries, men didn't want to have a woman
standing in front of them, so RR created the kneeling version. I don't know
if this is a true reason, but it is one that was told to me at a Rolls
convention.
