The latest news of the team.
Arrival in Morocco and start of prepartions in Ben Guerir
For the Solar Challenge Morocco 2021 we travel as a whole team from Aachen with car and workshop to Morocco; divided into several groups which fly to Morocco at different times. The first group set foot on the African continent already on 8th of October. With rental car we went directly to the hostel in Marrakech, which was completely booked by us.
The first meters on Australian soil
The second stop on our journey from Adelaide to Darwin to compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2019 is Coober Pedy. In the opal capital of the world, the conditions for testing were ideal for us: seemingly endless highways with bright sunshine. But before that, we first had to overcome the approx. 800 kilometers between Nuriootpa and Coober Pedy.
The adventure goes into a new round!
Finally we are off! After more than two years of design and manufacturing work, the first part of our team has arrived in Australia. After our first participation in 2017, we are thus back again to compete with a new team and an even newer vehicle in the Outback.
A prototype in the wind tunnel
Im Frühling dieses Jahres hat unser Team intensiv mit der Planung und Simulation des zukünftigen Sonnenwagens begonnen. Dabei haben sich alle Teams jeweils auf ihre Themenbereiche speziell vorbereitet. Im Sommer gehen wir nun in die Testphase über, wobei wir beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines 3D gedruckten Modells die verschieden wirkenden Kräfte im Windkanal des Instituts für Flugsystemdynamik der RWTH Aachen testen durften.
