Hindenberg for example spreads with it (7)
I believe the answer is:
airship
'hindenberg for example' is the definition.
(the Hindenburg is an example)
'spreads with it' is the wordplay.
'spreads' becomes 'airs' (air can mean to spread or transmit).
'with it' becomes 'hip' (I've seen this before).
'airs'+'hip'='AIRSHIP'
(Other definitions for airship that I've seen before include "Conveyance" , "mode of flying" , "Old flier" , "Means of transport" , "Blimp" .)
