Effectively a jetpack for Minecraft. Wings are worn in place of chest plate armor and incur wear from frequent use. Wings are repaired using an anvil and, you guessed it, feathers. Wings are very rare drops, like extremely rare, and cannot be crafted. They are also on very rare occasion given in chests in temples and the like. They are very durable because they need to be given they take damage from use. Wings function as regular armor and offer the protection of iron armor. They can be enchanted like regular armor as well. Wings give the ability to fly as one would in creative mode, but the player will incur fatigue as though running and doubly so if actually "sprinting". Players who aren't careful may find themselves receiving fall damage. Falls do substantial damage to wings. Wings are actually armor with a hidden Fly enchantment on them.
That's fine! The Elytra is actually not in the game yet, but a 1.9 snapshot feature. But any sort of flight as I said before, is often looked down on by the community
I had a feeling this might be an unoriginal idea though. Was just too lazy to check.
It's stuff like this that leads to locked threads. And also seriously consider slowing down with all these new threads. Some of your suggestions are really rushed and fall back on idea farming, which isn't allowed here.

My bad again. There's no Elytra on XBOX so I know nothing about it.
Suggestions for XBOX edition (Be it XBOX One or XBOX 360) Should be posted either here or here respectively.
If you want to post suggestions in the PC section, I suggest looking up the PC versions on the wiki to see the difference that way this doesn't happen. I believe XBOX editions are updated to be the equivalent of PC version 1.6.4 or 1.7.2 or a mixture of both atm. So I suggest looking at versions 1.7.2-1.9 snapshots before continuing making suggestions.
As for the actual topic, flying in survival is too OP, even if the item were rare, mostly due to just being able to simply hover out of danger without any risk. The Elytra is balanced in letting you more or less glide, and cannot be used to effectively escape every situation.
It doesn't matter how rare they are, or how much of a disadvantage they give. It's still unbalanced. Even if it's a rare find, someone who just started a world could find a temple w/ wings right next to their spawn point, thus making them OP even for the beginning of the game. Also, feathers are way too cheap of a repair material. Flying is one of the most powerful abilities you could give someone in survival mode, which is why Elytra is an endgame item (PS: We already have Elytra).

... Thoughts?
I've got one word: Elytra. You know? Mojang's balanced approach to this mechanic.

Support my suggestions. Make the game better!
OP and have you heard of the Elytra? Allows Gliding and goes in the chest slot.
and as many will say, any form of flight that allows you to gain altitude is massively OP
