Raise stone in front of the plane (7)
I believe the answer is:
cockpit
'front of the plane' is the definition.
'raise stone' is the wordplay.
'raise' becomes 'cock' (eg a dog can cock his leg).
'stone' becomes 'pit' ('pit' can be a synonym of 'stone').
'cock'+'pit'='COCKPIT'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for cockpit that I've seen before include "part of Wellington?" , "Site of numerous battles or campaigns" , "found in plane" , "Place for aircraft's pilot and crew" , "Where a plane's pilot sits" .)
