本文回顧淡江大學自2003年以來發展之「淡江金探子」拍翼機研製歷程。「淡江金探子」翼展20公分,總質量10克以下,使用可充電式鋰聚合物電池提供電動馬達所需電力,帶動拍翼機構運行,並採用遙控方式操作,一次充電可連續飛行8分鐘,目前適用於航空科普推廣教育與競賽之實作教具。本文也描述了「淡江金探子」的概念設計、研發瓶頸與相關學術成果。This paper presents the developing of Tamkangs flapping micro air vehicle (MAV) named as Golden Snitch since 2003. Golden Snitch has a wingspan of 20 cm and a total body mass of 10 gram. It used polylithium battery to provide the electricity required to the flapping mechanism operation. With one full charging of the battery Golden Snitch could fly for 8 min under the wireless remote control and therefore is appropriate to the popular science applications. The authors also addressed the concept design of the f lapping MAV, the difficulty encountered during the research and the correlated academic outcome.
