Way out from wind tunnel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loophole

'way out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wind tunnel' is the wordplay.
'wind' becomes 'loop' (looping is a kind of winding).
'tunnel' becomes 'hole' (I've seen this in another clue).
'loop'+'hole'='LOOPHOLE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loophole that I've seen before include "Get-out" , "Escape clause" , "escape mechanism" , "Flaw in the law?" , "Ambiguity that makes it possible to evade an obligation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
