Heard descendant delivered on a plane (8)
I believe the answer is:
airborne
'plane' is the definition.
(I know that Airborne is a plane)
'heard descendant delivered on a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'delivered' could be 'born' (as in a baby being delivered) and 'born' is found within the answer.
'on' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the remaining letters.
'a' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airborne that I've seen before include "Having taken off" , "Off the ground" , "as birds often are" , "upwardly mobile" , "In flight after taking off" .)
