Conic section formed by the intersection of a plane with both branches of a double cone (two identical cones on either side of the same vertex or pointed top). Hyperboloid is therefore a solid figure, some of the plane sections of which are hyperbolas. 2. A plane curve generated by a point so moving that the difference of the distances from two fixed points in the plane remains constant. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
