hydroplaning — A condition that can exist when a high speed aircraft lands on a water covered runway. Water forms a fine film between tires and the runway surface, thus rendering braking relatively ineffective. It can cause aircraft to skid. An effective… … Aviation dictionary
Hydroplaning (tires) — Hydroplaning or aquaplaning by a road vehicle occurs when a layer of water builds between the rubber tires of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to the loss of traction and thus preventing the vehicle from responding to control inputs such … Wikipedia
hydroplaning — A phenomenon of driving when water builds up under the tire tread, causing it to lose contact with the road. Caused by speed, water depth, tread depth, and inflation pressure. Slowing down will usually restore normal tire contact with the road.… … Dictionary of automotive terms
hydroplaning — … Useful english dictionary
dynamic aquaplaning/hydroplaning — A phenomenon in which aircraft tires run at a high speed over shallow standing water and ride up out of contact with the runway, rendering the brakes practically ineffective. Such a condition occurs usually when the runway is wet and the fluid… … Aviation dictionary
Hydroplane — Hydroplaning and hydroplane may refer to: Hydroplaning (tires), a loss of steering or braking control when a layer of water prevents direct contact between road vehicle or aircraft tires and the road or runway surface. At this point, cars can… … Wikipedia

Planing (sailing) — ).Planing allows the boat to go faster by using its speed and hull shape to lift the front part of the hull out of the water. The boat travels on top of the water, greatly reducing the hydrodynamic drag on the vessel. The increase in aerodynamic… … Wikipedia
Traction (engineering) — Traction refers to the friction between a drive member and the surface it moves upon, where the friction is used to provide motion.For the purposes of driving a wheeled vehicle, high friction is generally desired, as it provides a more positive… … Wikipedia
Airfield rubber removal — Airfield rubber removal, also known as runway rubber removal, is the use of high pressure water, abrasives, chemicals and/or other mechanical means to remove the rubber that builds up on airport landing strips. The Federal Aviation Administration … Wikipedia
