本研究以拍撲式微飛行器之實際升空飛行為研究目標。基於以往計畫執行所得之微飛行器製作技術加以精進，在本計畫前段利用微機電技術來完成飛行器之自主飛行測試，飛行距離已可達10公尺。同時借重多維度的測力設備，得出本微飛行器之空氣動力特性，包含升力係數與推力係數等量測數據。為得到更好的飛行表現，改良現有傳動系統，並透過高性能且質輕之鋰電池、多功能質輕的複合式晶片之襄助來縮減重量，以及利用類似鳥類的尾翼設計，來大幅延長本微飛行器之滯空時間。改良後的微飛行器之無線遙控飛行時間已超過10秒，距離達40公尺以上。 The objective of this project is to develop a flapping MAV capable of flight via wireless control. Based on the previous fabricating experience of MAVs, we have a great progress in this year. The first half of the research result, we fabricated a MAV having a successful flight capability of 10-meter range by MEMS process. The aerodynamic forces of this MAV were also obtained by a multi-dimensional load-cell in the facility of the wind tunnel. In the later half year, we re-designed a smoother gear-transmission system, and kept on searching light-weighted materials for the components of the MAV. Finally, integrated all the components including a (we) wireless receiver, tail actuator, and a poly-lithium battery in(a) to the MAV. In the flight testing, the MAV had a successful flight of 40-meter range and of 10-second endurance under wireless control on flapping power and tail attitude simultaneously.
