That is to say, could they get enough forward thrust to push themselves along, without taking off? Maybe with like a little perch to hang onto…

      Surely you can see the energy required to pickup and fly with a skateboard is orders of magnitude greater than simply pushing the skateboard?

        Yes, and that’s not the question I’m asking.

        I’m asking whether they could sustain forward thrust in a standing position, and without actually taking off.
