It would be nice to get off the ground from time to time, especially in the case of fighting the end dragon. To construct a device to flying (much like a helicoter or plane) could be beneficial in a lot of ways. Of course it would take time, gathering up components and materials, experience, etc. so it may take a while to be able to use it but it would make travel so much easier and safer (except the long range attack creatures).
THe structure could be made from wood, iron, or netherrack. Possibly other materials but not diamond. That would be expensive and over doing it.
What you think?

MINECRAFT IS A BREEZE UNTIL YOU MAKE MR. CREEPER MAD!
flying crafts such as balloons and such may have existed in those eras. I wouldnt think it woul make people quit because it would be their descision on if they use it or not.
I think it would be interesting to be able to fly around on survival to search better. I am not saying to add weapons or anything just as a search vessel.

I'd love giant zepplins on which you can keep stuff on.
once again. mc isn't medieval. its fantasy. they had flying machines in medieval fantasy stories. (the which pops in my head now is "avatar the last airbender")

Saying things like this will only bog your suggestion down. Saying "Oh, well you have the choice!" is usually a horrible way to back up a suggestion, because deep down it seems like you're saying "Yeah, this idea probably has some holes in it, but that's okay because if you don't like it, don't use it!" And that doesn't add balance to your idea. Not that your idea is horrible, as I'm 50/50 on the balloon thing.
Solution: If your idea has solid reasoning and (near) perfect balance, then there's no need for your idea to be optional.

Minecraft has been out for a while, and the only flying we get is in Creative Mode. I can't see any flying happening in Survival any time soon, but I may be wrong. Not that that was a dig on your suggestion, it's just something that seems unlikely.

Hey, you there. Yes, you! Are you thinking about posting a suggestion on the forums anytime soon? If so, please read this before doing so.
The game is set to some kind of medieval fantasy world,not a lot of technology.
Flying vehicles just...they just don't really fit to Minecraft.
Also you should add more details.
No support because not enought details and flying vehicles don't fit to Minecraft.
Agreed completely.
But...
Why not a set of craftable wings? Made of wood and feathers? Consider Icarus and Daedalus.
Craft a single wing from 9 feathers, a set of wings from 2 wings, 2 string, 2 sticks, and 3 planks. You equip it like any tool and every time you right-click you flap and gain speed/altitude. Just holding will let you glide, going forward while only dropping 1 block for every 2-3 seconds.
Every flap decreases durability, and durability slowly drains while you are gliding above y=100, faster the higher you are.
That fits into Minecraft (in my opinion) and has a decent mix of versatility and limiting factors.

When I said "more medieval than anything else", I meant that medieval is the closest possible age.
What is it then if not medieval?
Except for the jeans and shirt you mentioned, I see nothing that would point at modern ages.
What makes you think swords and bows mean "medieval"? Have you ever heard of survival?
He's probably just a modern guy who is stranded in a strange world of blocks, trying to survive. It makes the most sense.

Generation 25: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. Social experiment.

Minecraft isn't medieval... don't know why so many people think that.
Yup, that's why the default skin is wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
