Due to remove front part of plane (4)
I believe the answer is:
wing
'part of plane' is the definition.
(planes have wings)
'due to remove front' is the wordplay.
'due' becomes 'owing' (similar in meaning).
'to remove front' means to remove the first letter.
'owing' with its first letter taken off is 'WING'.
(Other definitions for wing that I've seen before include "Projecting part of bird or aircraft" , "Wound superficially; part of large house" , "Part of flier" , "bit of a mansion" , "Group of squadrons; par of car" .)
