Dream of flying

Dream of flying

If we count all known different ways of getting a feeling of flying, we have around forty or so at our disposal and we can even include the apparent "real" dreaming of flying among them. For those that did not yet had the chance to actually dream of flying, you have plenty of ways to experience the feeling. Flying is not part of our human nature but we will continue to find new means of attaining this dream until we can really feel the pleasure of flying on our own. Actually among the following activities, some are more prone to make you feel the loss of your weight, others a sense of falling or floating but some you can actually feel like flying. Probably the closest sports that makes flying as true as possible is wingsuit flying and sky diving but both require an intense training and push your adrenaline level to the extreme. The recent appearence of several wind flying tunnels or indoor skydiving made the dream of flying more easier to experiment. You can also jump with a simple kite. Although the kite lifts you for only a few seconds, the sensation of being in the air gives you that fantastic feeling of flying. A more safer way is microgravity flying where you fly on a special aircraft (G-Force One). It may be expensive but your body will be floating if only for 30 seconds. We should warn that many if not all of the following sports present some risks, so if you decide to try any of them, listen and learn with the experts and never do anything that may put your life at risk.

Remember: our body has no wings. If you fall for some reason you may simply die. The following list of activities has been our own choice and it may eventually be incomplete:

Jetman

I deliberately left the Jetman for last since this peculiar and amazing wing is actually the best similar sensation of really flying. Unfortunately it is not available for us to try it and if for some miracle this Jetman could become commercially viable, it would be for only a very few people. Nevertheless it would be an amazing experience if one day we could try this wing with jets and let our body freely control the flight even if for some minutes. Imagine what would you feel flying at your will close to 200 km/h and diving close to 300 km/h.
