Can't make an exception here, unfortunately. Flying ships do take a lot of work to make, but everyone else has to do it too, and it's been a long-established rule that anything that flies in RP has to also fly in game.

Alternatively, I guess you could buy/rent flying ships from another faction in RP if you're just looking for transportation.
