Shoots aircraft (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jets

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'shoots' is the first definition.
(both can mean sprays or spurts)

'aircraft' is the second definition.
(jet is a type of aircraft)

(Other definitions for jets that I've seen before include "Rapid streams of liquid or gas" , "Aeroplanes - Sharks rivals in "West Side Story"" , "Water spouts or fast planes" , "Fast airplanes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
