英语词汇hydroplane的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hydroplane. Almost as soon as the airplane became a reality in the early 20th century, inventors began experimenting with seaplanes with floats that were able to take off from and land on the sea. These were called hydroplanes, and some of the first ex- amples were built in France. But the name created some confu- sion, and still does, for it had, since 1870, also been used for a light, high-powered boat designed to plane over the water at high speeds. Invented by English pastor Charles Meade Ramus in the mid 19th century, the hydroplane boat did not become a reality until about the same time as the seaplane. It is often called the sea sled or hydrofoil today.
