	Elytra have a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/s (obtained by gliding with a strong upward pitch of 30°). A player in flight who drops to 0 speed quickly accelerates back up to at least this minimum. The player can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but afterward, they typically do not regain nearly as much altitude. In the real world, drag increases with speed and slows an aircraft; ''Minecraft'' also mimics this.

	Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. Quicker turns cause greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Making a hairpin turn can be used for making high-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. The player should aim to glide just above the target then immediately reverse direction right over the target, making adjustments as necessary.		Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed.

The lowest rate of altitude loss without changing pitch is about 1.5 m/s, obtained by gliding at the with a slight upward pitch of about 12° to 15°.

	The player can achieve the best possible glide ratio obtainable without changing pitch by aiming directly at the horizon (0°). This ratio is about 10.06 blocks traveled horizontally per 1 block of starting altitude, not including the time and altitude required to build up speed.

Elytra are found in [[Minecraft:End cities]] in an [[Minecraft:item frame]] in the treasure room of the [[Minecraft:End ship]]. A [[Minecraft:shulker]] guards the elytra along with the ship's two loot chests.

			A singular elytron is not available as an item in the game. The item always consists of a pair of elytra.

	With the right technique,<ref>{{cite\|url=https://youtu.be/F69K1-cMaf8?t=185\|title=Finding the optimal elytra gliding angle\|website=YouTube\|date=Feb 24, 2025\|author=Heppe (@HeppeGaming)}}</ref> it is possible to achieve infinite flight until the elytra break. First, start from at least 50 blocks above the ground, though around 80 blocks up is ideal. Fly down with a pitch between 32–33° to build up speed until the player loses about 60-70 blocks of altitude. Then, immediately pitch up to about -50°, and slowly pitch down by +0.5° per tick (+10° per second) until reaching 32° again, and repeat. If done correctly, the player can gain 3 blocks of altitude per cycle, though it may be possible to gain up to 10 blocks of altitude per cycle on average.<ref>https://youtu.be/N3-hYjDvZS0?t=296</ref>{{more info\|More specifics on this behavior}}

	[[Minecraft:Durability]] decreases by one point each second when gliding. ~~A pair of elytra has~~ 432 durability, allowing 7 minutes and 12 seconds of gliding time without enchantments, providing more than 10,000 blocks of transport distance. It is possible to apply the [[Minecraft:Unbreaking]] enchantment using an [[Minecraft:anvil]] and an [[Minecraft:enchanted book]], which affects the elytra, in the same way it does to [[Minecraft:tool]]s. Unbreaking III increases elytra's flight time to about four seconds per durability point, a total of 28 minutes and 48 seconds.
