Tool that flies through the air (5)
I believe the answer is:
plane
'tool' is the definition.
(I know that Plane is a tool)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plane that I've seen before include "Smooth" , "Nepal (anag.)" , "Aircraft - level surface - carpenter's tool" , "Woodworking tool" , "Smoother" .)
