I've always seen that tale as one of gross user error. The wings worked just fine for Daedalus. Icarus ignored the use warnings he gave him. The system failed the user Icarus because he exceeded the stated use parameters he'd been told, not due to design flaws. Daedalus did the best with what was available to him, and could not have designed them better. They worked as long as you used them the way he said to, and didn't use them the way he said not to.
