Humans can fly (in jets, in plains) but not with crappy wax and feather "inventions".

Icarus
The feathers of his artificial wings were held together by wax, which would melt if Icarus came to close to the sun.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus. He was best known for attempting to escape with his father, who had fashioned them wings. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but in his excitement, Icarus did. The sun melted the wax attaching the wings to his back, and Icarus fell to his death. Now, the sea in which he fell into is called the Icarian sea.
Icarus actually did not make anything to reach the sun. His father, Daedalus, made two pairs of wings for them to fly with. Unfortunately, Icarus did not listen to his father's warnings and drowned over the crossing.
Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete. His father constructed wings from feathers and wax. Though warned not to fly too high, Icarus forgot and flew very high until the hot Sun melted the wax and the feathers fell off. Icarus plunged into the sea and was drowned.
