Flying by Foy

Pink - Beautiful Trauma tour, March 2018
Uses Tait's 4 point system to enable this amazing performer to land on truss platforms throughout the arena, as well as flying on stage. 
See this post on the Tait website about Pink's Beautiful Trauma Tour

A similar system was pioneered on Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark in 2010 by Fisher Technologies

Many flying effects are classed as illusions, as you can't see the wires.

Disney's Aladdin has a stunning magic carpet effect, designed by Jim Steinmeyer.

David Copperfield's Flying Illusion, designed by John Gaughan, remains a stunning achievement.
