Hyperplane vs Superplane - What's the difference?

hyperplane | superplane |

As nouns the difference between hyperplane and superplane

is that hyperplane is (geometry) an n''-dimensional generalization of a plane; an affine subspace of dimension ''n-1'' that splits an ''n -dimensional space (in a one-dimensional space, it is a point; in two-dimensional space it is a line; in three-dimensional space, it is an ordinary plane) while superplane is (informal) a very large or technologically sophisticated aeroplane.
