Daedalus murdered his son and blamed his son's "ambition" to cover it up. It doesn't get hotter as you rise, it gets colder. If the wax melted, it was due to shoddy craftsmanship.

The troposphere cools down with altitude, but the stratosphere does actually heat up due to ozone. So if they somehow made it well above 10 km altitude, it's a possibility.
