    Actually, it is quite possible to fly without wings. All of those that keep saying that it is not are completely forgetting the basic vehicles of the space industry, rockets. They do a darn good job of flying without using wings of any sort to produce lift.

    There are also the rocket packs that some people have strapped onto their backs in order to fly. Admittedly, they don't have much range, but they do allow a person to fly without wings.

    You can't really fly without wings. You can, however, fall with STYLE!

    Totally impossible for a human if that's what you mean, but it is feasible if you were born as a helicopter.

    EDIT- ImAlec, I did consider that, having a layman's knowledge of how a wing works. This isn'ty a reply, just letting you know you just rained on my parade. :(

    Physically, it's just not possible for humans. In order to fly, one must first have a very light and aerodynamic body-structure...first being hollow and birttle bones. If we had all of these qualities, and we were in a low-gravity atmosphere like the moon...we would still need some sort of lift.

    Jetpacks I know are/were possible...but very dangerous obviously, and the longest lasting 'flight' was something around 30 seconds?
