flying broomstick
Aerial cleaning tool
A flying broomstick is the witch's vehicle of folklore and fantasy—an ordinary household broom that becomes airborne through magic.
The image is iconic in Halloween imagery and children's literature: She mounted her flying broomstick and disappeared into the night sky.
The term sometimes appears metaphorically for any improbable or whimsical mode of transport.
