Faculty Delft University of Technology Date 2012-06-30 Abstract TU Delft students are participating for the fourth time in the world championship solar boat race in Friesland, which begins on 8 July. Expectations are high because the TU Delft students were world champions in 2006 and 2008. In 2010, the solar boat was equipped with hydrofoils for the first time. Unfortunately, the hydrofoils caused the boat to rise so far out of the water at top speed that it tilted and only achieved a third place. The big question is whether this year's new boat is fast enough to beat the competition. This infographic describes the technologies that the TU Delft team hope will help them win the race.
