Glider with chrome wings, takes turn mid-air after launching? (9)

'mid-air after launching?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'glider with chrome wings takes turn' is the wordplay.
'glider' becomes 'ir' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'wings' suggests removing the centre (the wings or edge letters of the word are used).
'turn' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chrome' with its middle taken out is 'ce'.
'ce'+'takes'='cetakes'
'cetakes' anagrammed gives 'ceskate'.
'ir' going around 'ceskate' is 'ICESKATER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
