i think having airplanes in the game would give players the ability to travel over land without having to climb over mountains, or even quickly find a house you may have built but died and lost it completely.
post on what you think of this and what kind of materials should be used to build the plane, if it should be a jet or propeller (depending on the materials you use), and if it should be in the game or not!

this how i think it would be crafted (3x3):
I pray that Minecraft never adds advanced technology like aircraft. And I especially pray that they wouldn't be crafted as a giant lump of iron, with a furnace and some glass mixed in. An airplane should require a lot more material, and far more effort. Too much to have any place in Minecraft.

well, its just what i think it could look like, not will look like but it would add an entirely new concept to the game and maybe you would need a certain length of runway or special pavement to land on. as material goes it could be obsidian and diamonds if you want to make complicated.
Anyways, if it WAS created, it would probably take paper and wood, not metal.
Really, though. You should have to craft a engine, two body pieces, two wings, and a tail separately, then craft those crafted mats together.
I also though the powered Mine carts should require you building an engine first (3 pipes + furnace + bucket of water AKA steam engine) then putting one in a Mine cart, not just a furnace. same deal with boats, once they're made.
Same sorta idea for guns, needing to make 2 pipes and some other stuff. That way the super-advanced stuff would take a lot to actually get in the first place, making it worthwhile. They'd be more powerful than bows, 1 shot kill on most mobs, but they'd take four seconds to reload compared to the freaking machine-gun rapidity of the bow and the guns wouldn't be as accurate.
I would love to be able to craft four workbenches together and get a new, 12x12 crafting area for building larger, more intricate items. Not planes though. That would take all the fun of travelling and losing your house away.
= SUPER BENCH?!

I survived two creeper explosions, a lava flood in my house, a journey through a massive cave system, and a trip to the nether for some lava. I then fell off a hill to my death. *smashes face on keyboard*

Or cloth and wood. Have a plane that doesn't need an engine that can glide down from high spots. Or one with an engine that obeys gravity with alacrity if you are at altitude and run out of fuel.

plus, crafting crafted items is fun!
I suspect there may be more complex items in the future. At present we have powered and storage minecarts as items crafted out of other crafted items. Perhaps pipes and wood (the stock) for a rifle, pipe and glass for a scope to mount on the rifle. Iron, redstone, and glass in a helmet shape for night vision? (Mods for a multi-player server?)

If at first you don't succeed, repair the creeper damage and try again.
If there ever is a human-made air transportation in minecraft, the limit would probably be a hot air ballon, which wouldn't give the player too much of an advantage... especially when you are attacked by a swarm of flying mobs who punch holes in your balloon...

It goes on and on and on and on

well, this is a great idea, i don't care what people think about it!
(and your idea of building the parts is great by the way =])
and if everyone doesn't want to use it, then they don't have to! durr!
if notch was open to an idea like mine it could change the way you travel in minecraft, you dont have to climb all those rocks and dirt piles!
just think about it guys would it be awesome? to fly with ease and comfort? not having to worry about falling off a cliff or drowning?
I'd prefer a glider, or (I think someone said notch was interested in*) hot air balloons.
Chickens can glide, or at least safely fall from a distance. so having a glider wouldn't be that bad. have it be able to move like a boat on land, where you slowly move while in it. but when you fall off a edge, you get the effect that of the chicken and can float down.

Two, ideas like this have been suggested to death & Notch has said he wants to keep the Medieval style of the game.
Thank you and have a nice day.

I hate that song, but those lyrics aren't bad.
You are dead to me.
Thanks for the compliment, though.
