Secondary aim to revise properties of flying objects (12)
I believe the answer is:
aerodynamics
'secondary aim to revise properties of flying objects' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'secondary aim to revise' is the wordplay.
'to revise' indicates an anagram.
'secondary'+'aim'='secondaryaim'
'secondaryaim' with letters rearranged gives 'AERODYNAMICS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aerodynamics that I've seen before include "Science of lift and flight" , "study of flight" .)
