Cheer pilot flying this? (10)
I believe the answer is:
helicopter
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cheer pilot flying' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates an anagram (letters fly around into new positions).
'cheer'+'pilot'='cheerpilot'
'cheerpilot' with letters rearranged gives 'HELICOPTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for helicopter that I've seen before include "Chopper" , "Flier" , "surveillance equipment" , "Rotary-winged craft" , "This can be used to transport" .)
