A personal aircraft device (“PAD”) and a powered personal aircraft device (“PPAD”) configured to be ridden and/or releasably connected to a person or user. The personal aircraft device can be configured to provide a large array of maneuvers during sky diving or free fall, and perform somewhat as a lifting device requiring a parachute landing and/or alternatively can be configured to glide to a safe landing. The personal aircraft device and powered personal aircraft device according to the present invention provide for high performance, speed and/or maneuvering of a person or user during free fall, and can provide increased or significantly increased gliding capability versus free falling or deployment of a high performance parachute.

A device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one movable control surface is connected to said board. 3. A device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one movable control surface is connected to said wing. 4. A device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one movable control surface is connected to both said board and said wing. 5. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is provided with at least one movable wing portion. 6. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is configured to move from one position to another position. 7. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is configured to be selectively moved from one configuration to another configuration. 8. A device according to claim 7, wherein said wing is configured to be selectively deployed from a stowed configuration to an operational configuration. 9. A device according to claim 8, wherein said wing is configured to be stowed away in a substantially non-operational configuration and can be selectively deployed to said operational configuration. 10. A device according to claim 8, wherein said wing is configured to be stowed away in a partial operational configuration and can be selectively deployed to a fully operational configuration. 11. A device according to claim 8, wherein said wing is configured to be selectively stowed away after being previously deployed. 12. A device according to claim 8, wherein said wing is configured to be selectively deployed and selectively stowed away repeatedly. 13. A device according to claim 8, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured so that said wing is actively deployed by use of aerodynamic force applied to the personal aircraft device. 14. A device according to claim 12, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured so that said wing is actively deployed by use of aerodynamic force applied to said wing. 15. A device according to claim 1, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured so that said wing is actively deployed by use of at least one selected from the group consisting of aerodynamic force, mechanical force, hydraulic force and pneumatic force. 16. A device according to claim 1, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured to perform as a glider when said wing is in the operational position. 17. A device according to claim 1, including a propulsion device connected to the personal aircraft derive and configured to provided powered flight of said device. 18. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing includes at least one wing portion configured to swing from a stowed positioned to an operational position. 19. A device according to claim 17, wherein said wing includes a pair of wing portions configured to swing from the stowed position to the operational position. 20. A device according to claim 18, wherein said wing portions are configured to swing forward from the stowed position to the operational position. 21. A device according to claim 18, wherein said wing portions are configured to swing backward from the stowed position to the operational position. 22. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is a pivotal wing configured to pivot from a stowed position to an operational position. 23. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is configured to extend from a stowed position to an operational position . 24. A device according to claim 1, wherein the personal aircraft device is provided with at least one movable control surface for controlling flight of said device. 25. A device according to claim 1, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured to be deformable for controlling flight of said device. 26. A device according to claim 1, wherein at least one portion of said wing is configured to warp for controlling flight of the personal aircraft device. 27. A device according to claim 1, including a vertical fin section connected to said board. 28. A device according to claim 1, including a horizontal stabilizer connected to said board. 29. A device according to claim 17, including a horizontal stabilizer connected to said board. 30. A device according to claim 1, including a canard wing connected to said board. 31. A device according to claim 20, including a horizontal stabilizer connected to said board. 32. A device according to claim 1, wherein the personal aircraft device is configured to perform as a lifting body. 33. A device according to claim 1, wherein said board is configured to provide substantially no lift to the personal aircraft device during level flight. 34. A device according to claim 1, wherein said board is configured to provide lift to the personal aircraft device. 35. A device according to claim 1, wherein said personal aircraft device is configured to operationally connect to a user laying head forward and face down on top of said board. 36. A device according to claim 1, wherein said personal aircraft device is configured to operationally connect to a user laying head rear and face up on top of said board. 37. A device according to claim 1, wherein said personal aircraft device is configured to operationally connect to a user's back. 38. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is configured to provide differential lift between said wing portions. 39. A device according to claim 1, wherein said wing is defined by an airfoil.
