Detailed explanation-1: -Hydroplaning happens when the tires on your vehicle lose their grip on a road surface and instead travel on a film of water sitting on top of the road. Hydroplaning dramatically reduces a driver’s ability to steer and brake.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydroplanes are horizontal control surfaces used to control the vertical motions of submarines and other underwater vehicles, Figure 2.5. The shape, area and location of these control surfaces will depend on the size, speed and operational requirements of the vehicle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydroplaning (also called “aquaplaning”) is what happens when your tires drive over wet pavement or standing water and lose contact with the road surface, resulting in a loss of traction and an inability to steer the car.
Detailed explanation-4: -The noun hydroplane always refers to a vehicle, either a speedboat that seems to hover over the surface of water as it travels, or a plane that can take off and land on an ocean or lake.
