Aquaplaning
Definition
A dangerous physical and hydrodynamic phenomenon occurring when a vehicle or aircraft rolls over a water-covered surface, consisting of a total loss of tire adhesion due to the formation of a liquid film between the wheel and the road. This structural loss of direct contact negates braking and steering efficiency, leading to a loss of vehicle control.
