What does slipstream mean?
A trail of air or water that flows behind a moving object, or a region of reduced air pressure behind an aircraft in flight, allowing it to travel more efficiently. In science fiction, a slipstream is a hypothetical region of space-time that allows faster-than-light travel.
Example
"The spacecraft entered the slipstream, and its speed increased dramatically."
