Longitudinal Aquaplane App

  • Released: 11 December 2025

  • Version: 1.0.10

The Longitudinal Aquaplane app pinpoints the onset of aquaplaning and quantifies wheel slip as it happens.

With real-time wheel speed and slip readouts, engineers can evaluate how well a tyre clears water and retains longitudinal grip.
