竹とんぼ（竹蜻蜓）是一種源自日本的傳統飛行玩具，以竹製螺旋葉片與細長軸心構成。玩家透過雙手快速搓轉，使其旋轉升空。這種看似簡單的玩具，實則蘊含空氣動力學與旋轉原理，能讓人直觀感受升力與平衡。竹蜻蜓既是童年的樂趣，也是自然與科學結合的經典象徵。

Taketombo, also known as the bamboo-copter, is a traditional Japanese flying toy made from a bamboo rotor attached to a shaft. By spinning it rapidly between the hands, it lifts into the air. Despite its simplicity, the toy demonstrates fundamental principles of aerodynamics and rotational motion, offering a hands-on understanding of lift and balance. It is both a nostalgic childhood toy and a timeless example of science in motion.
