The court heard that the plane had wide, lowinflated tyres which were designed for marsh or rough terrain landing and that
hydroplaning was recommended by the manufacturers of the Maule.
One of the first problems associated with the tire's influence on active safety of a car was the
hydroplaning problem.
The minimum speed in knots at which dynamic
hydroplaning will begin is computed by 9 times the square root of the main gear tire pressure.
Wet conditions also increase your chances of
hydroplaning (skimming over the water surface with no road contact).
CAUSES: Going too fast around a corner,
hydroplaning over standing water, driving over ice or braking too hard.
When in operation the hydrodynamic journal bearing, described by AxFlow as a fluid boundary forming principal, eliminates contact between the shaft and the bearing in the pump by
hydroplaning above the bearing surface on a cushion of liquid.
Pervious pavement can improve safety by eliminating ponding, the effects of
hydroplaning, and glare at night.

Contributing factors were the wet runway and
hydroplaning.
According to Jason Harrington, an asphalt pavement engineer with FHWA, with an open-graded friction in course aggregate like slag, the roadway does not experience as much spray or misting during rain, offering better visibility and much less
hydroplaning.
