WELCOME TO SUNSWIFT
Welcome to Sunswift! We are a full-scale, multi-disciplinary, student-led solar racing team. Volunteers from faculties all over the University of New South Wales offer their time and skills to design, build and race a state-of-the-art solar-powered car. Funding is provided by our generous donors and corporate sponsors, and of course by UNSW.
We hope you take the time to learn about the Sunswift team, our vehicles, our community involvement, or our sponsors.

Jun/18/2009 - Sunswift III features in a new TV commercial
Today, Sunswift III and several of the team members starred in a TV advertisement for a major national financial institution. The team rose to the occasion, customising the car for it's maximum acceleration while on camera. Extras, actors, directors and producers bustled, watching and learning about our car in the process. While the production crew assured us that their particular operation was quite small, the attention to detail and sheer volume of work that was required to capture each second of film was staggering. Many thanks to the production crew and for their generous contribution to our adopt-a-cell program!

Jun/16/2009 - Canopy mould under construction
Construction of Sunswift IV is going full steam ahead. Today our moulds team took time out from their exam preparation to build the first of three fibreglass moulds for Sunswift IV. The canopy mould that was built today is the smallest of the three, but will give the team crucial experience and data in order to make sure that the large bottom shell and top shell moulds are a success. These fibreglass moulds are capable of surviving the high-temperature autoclave process used by our partner, Boeing Aerostructures Australia.
