Hydroplane. A flat-bottomed craft designed to skim over the surface of the water.
Seaplanes are said to hydroplane as soon as they have passed the hump speed during take-off and are supported by the hydrodynamic lift of the hull or floats.
HYDROPLANE - An airplane designed to land long on a short and wet runway.
IFR - A method of flying by needle and horoscope.
LEAN MIXTURE - Nonalcoholic beer.
Hydroplane - An airplane designed to land on a wet, 20,000-foot-long runway.
Induced Drag - When a male copilot is persuaded by a kinky female flight attendant to put on women's clothes against his will.
-In the early bydro-airplane, which was thus developed, the motor and pilot were above in the usual position in the wings, while the hydroplane itself was a considerable distance below the wings. Thus there was a good deal of bead resistance.
Seaplanes can be divided into separate categories such as float planes, flying boats, and amphibious aircraft ("amphibians").These aircraft are occasionally called hydroplanes, based on usage in several Romance languages, which is rare in English.
Runway has been steam cleaned by friction.
A worn tire hydroplanes more quickly than a new tire.
Braking is best with a 20 percent rolling skid.
A crosscut grooving of 1/4 inch slots gives a wet runway dry runway braking.
