By means of the hydrofoils, the boat hull is raised and the boat becomes more streamlined. Through this, the speed can be maximized. The winning solar boat of 2016 reaches speeds of more than 50 km\/h. It was about 5 km\/h faster than the boat of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the solar boat team therefore helps to improve engineer skills and furthers the knowhow about sustainable energies, especially because solar power is linked to different challenges such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>limited available power requiring the minimization of drag<\/li>\n<li>influence by environmental parameters such as radiation, wind and precipitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The latter has been monitored by three different weather sensors sponsored by Lufft: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/wind-sensors-anemometers-289\/ventus-umb-ultrasonic-wind-sensor-2303\/\" target=\"_blank\">VENTUS ultrasonic wind sensor<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/lufft.com\/en\/products\/all-in-one-sensorsradiation\/ws502-umb-smart-weather-sensor-8375u10\/\" target=\"_blank\">WS502-UMB<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/lufft.com\/en\/products\/all-in-one-sensorsradiation\/ws501-umb-smart-weather-sensor-8375u01\/\" target=\"_blank\">WS501-UMB<\/a>.

From 2008 on they have aimed to attend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solarsportone.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dutch Solar Challenge<\/a> taking place every two years. This event is considered the World Cup of solar boat races for which the students&#8217; team from Delft develope a new, improved boat each time.
