Jabbar Raisani says Aang cannot actually fly.
As per the Direct, Raisani said that some fans thought they saw Aang flying around in the first episode of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender.’ He then explained that Aang was not flying in that scene:
“There was this common thread that Aang could fly. And I was like, ‘No, Aang can’t fly. Aang is falling with style.’ I want to do a diagram to show exactly that he’s always falling. It’s the opening sequence mainly. I was like, ‘No, that was, like, very clearly designed,’ obviously, not clearly enough. But to make sure that he’s always falling, and I was like, ‘No!’ I’m gonna do a YouTube video, like he’s not flying, he’s falling.'”
Aang uses a glider to help him move through the air in the original animated series. He also sometimes rides on the back of his flying bison. This is different from flying on his own. It seems Raisani may even make a YouTube video to prove it.
