Son of Daedalus who flew too near the sun (6)

I believe the answer is:

icarus

(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "involved in air crash" , "Excessively high flier" , "Ill-fated flyer of myth" , "High-flying son of Daedalus" , "who made unwise flight?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
