/ˈhaɪdrəpleɪn//ˈhaɪdrəpleɪn/

The word "hydroplane" can be traced back to the late 19th century when boats were being designed to travel at high speeds on water. The term "hydrodynamics" was coined to describe the scientific study of fluid motion, and "hydro" meaning water, was added to the word "plane" (which comes from the Greek word "plateia," meaning wide or flat) to create the term "hydroplane." A hydroplane is, therefore, a type of boat with a wide and flat bottom designed to minimize drag and maximize speed on the water. With advances in technology, hydroplanes have evolved into sleek and high-performance craft, capable of reaching incredible speeds on the water's surface.
