This clue might be a double definition.

'glider cockpit' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.

'cover?' is the second definition.
(lid is a kind of cover)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lid that I've seen before include "Hat" , "Movable cover" , "Removable cover of a container" , "Top for bottle or eye protector" , "Hinged or removable cover as for bottle" .)
