Could you make a Tyranid / Daemon army that was all flyers and still be semi competitive?

Flyers? No. Not a whole lot of things in the game are actual flyers that can zoom/swoop. Things that have wings? Skyblight was a very competitive choice for Tyranids not too long ago, which had nothing but wInged creatures. And Obj Sec Gargoyles too boot.
It's the troop choice that will get ya. I don't know of any flying troops. Best you can get is jump pack I think.

I hear 4 Dakka Flyrants are really good at killing Knights. That alone makes them worth considering.
You won't get away with all flyers, you'll auto lose on turn 1 before they arrive from reserves. But you can do Flyer heavy.

They can come on in Glide mode, but they still must be in Reserves IIRC.

There is a distinct difference in rules between Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures. Flyers must start in reserve, Flying Monstrous Creatures not.
