I get that just running straight is usually faster and he can run on water, but if he wanted to, could he leap via momentum? Has he ever used a Flash Glider?

I mean… flash runs so fast they had to invent a separate dimension he taps into just to explain how he avoids physics… he could theoretically run an at incline fast enough to launch himself into orbit, and fall down at whatever point he’s calculated. Is that flying? Not by the conventional definition of it in superpower media, but… rockets do that and we say they fly, so why not?
That is what I mean by flight. It just kind of looks more like he’s fast-forwarding than physically moving in our spacetime. Like warp speed.
There is a villain that does just that the second Professor Zoom broke the flashes time traveling treadmill and it caused him to be able to move forward at any speed he wished on his time line. So it looked like he was running at super speed but he wasn’t.
Superman can’t fly. He can only “leap tall buildings with a single bound.”
In the earlier comics yeah :3… later superman gets kind of out of hand with powers
I heard Superman gained the ability to fly during the first TV series because doing the special effects for flying was easier than for jumping.
