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?

Superman can't fly. He can only "leap tall buildings with a single bound."
