This could be a double definition.

'high' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'speed flier?' is the second definition.
'bat' can be an answer for 'speed' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'flier?' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Wooden implement for cricket" , "Small flying mammal - like 11 Across" , "Night-flyer" , "Flutter (eyelids)" , "Nocturnal flier" .)
