Okay, I guess that wings could help the Titanic not to sink. But somehow, I doubt that's what you meant.
In any case, your wish for a flying carpet is easily granted. I come into your house, steal your carpet, and send it flying off a cliff. Go fetch!
I wish that Australia would win the Ashes cricket series. They're not off to a good start, though.

It is easy to go down into Hell;
Night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide;
But to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air –
There's the rub, the task.
