Tune with artistry that transports us (8)
I believe the answer is:
aircraft
'transports us' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'tune with artistry' is the wordplay.
'tune' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'artistry' becomes 'craft' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'air'+'craft'='AIRCRAFT'
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aircraft that I've seen before include "Airbus A330 or A380, say" , "I cart RAF? (Anag)" , "means of transport" , "Aeroplane, helicopter etc" , "Jumbo?" .)
