Constellation in the Milky Way whose brightest star is Altair (6)

I believe the answer is:

aquila

(Other definitions for aquila that I've seen before include "starry set" , "group of stars" , "Constellation, the Eagle" , "Altair's constellation" , "Italian city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
