A Hydrofoil is something that whose hull is fitted underneath with shaped vanes (foils) that lift the hull clear of the water to increase the boat's speed.

A Hydroplane is something that is attachment to a plane to make it glide across water.

How do hydroplanes work?

Hydroplanes work by utilizing the principles of buoyancy and hydrodynamics. When a hydroplane is moving forward, its specially designed hull creates lift, which allows the craft to rise up and glide on top of the water. The shape of the hull and adjustable hydrofoils underneath the craft help to maintain stability and control at high speeds.

What happens when a car hydroplanes?

A vehicle "hydroplanes" when the tires encounter enough water on the road that the tires loose traction with the pavement and actually begin to "plane" or ride on top of the water, much like a boat. In a sense you are actually floating on water.


When a vehicle hydroplanes its tires?

When a vehicle hydroplanes, the friction the tires are against is something other than the roadway - typically, it's a layer of water between the tires and the roadway. As the water has much less resistance and friction than asphalt, the tires spin much more freely.

What do you do if your car hydroplanes?

Don't apply the brakes, take your foot off of the gas pedal and allow the car to slow down by itself until traction is achieved.
