Airbending ideas
Spiritual projection: Master airbenders who have a strong connection with their spiritual side are capable of projecting their spirits into other locations. Through projection, an airbender is able to explore underground or sealed locations by passing through solid matter. Airbenders can also use this technique to find individuals with whom they have a strong bond. During Harmonic Convergence, Jinora used an amplified variation of this ability to assist Avatar Korra during her battle with the Dark Avatar. She used the technique once more to find where the Dai Li imprisoned airbenders in Ba Sing Se and later again to try to find a way to escape the Red Lotus.
During Harmonic Convergence, Due to the amplification of the spiritual energy, Jinora was able to traverse further than normal
Gliding: Although all airbenders can levitate or extend jumps via airbending, most if not all airbenders possess a glider for mid range flight. These hand-crafted portable wood and canvas structures can collapse into a staff for storage and as an aid when bending. In glider form, it is used in conjunction with bending to fly as long as the bender has the strength to maintain the air currents. With stronger winds, multiple people can be carried for short distances. As a normal staff, it can be used as a weapon in battle, to aid in bending, and even as a levitation aid when spun above the head like a helicopter propeller. By 174 AG, these glider staffs had been replaced by wingsuits.
Aang used his glider for windsurfing, but later destroyed his damaged glider, though it was replaced at the beginning of the invasion of the Fire Nation by a more advanced version created by the mechanist and his son Teo, which can also dispense snacks when the handle is twisted.
When visiting Roku's past during the summer solstice, Aang saw a younger version of his old mentor, Monk Gyatso, using a variation of the usual flying, utilizing the glider as a makeshift board to surf on air.
Hypersensitivity: Airbenders possess a high level of sensory sensitivity which enables them to detect threats and perceive their surroundings through feeling air currents and the vibrations in the air, similar to how earthbenders useseismic sense to sense their environment using earth. For this reason, the Air Nomads shaved their heads in order to "free themselves" and have a stronger connection with the wind around them, increasing the technique's effectiveness when used. Tenzin demonstrated this technique when he was able to detect and evade an ambush by Equalists on the roof of City Hall during the battle for Republic City. Daw also demonstrated it during a battle with bison rustlers when he perceived and evaded an attack behind him by sensing the oncoming threat.
Cloud manipulation: Since clouds are made from air and water, a skilled airbender can easily manipulate them into various shapes. Aang, with assistance from Katara, demonstrated this technique during Team Avatar's stay in Makapu Village to provide a message to the nearby villagers, and he later did the same to disguise their flights on Appa while moving about the Fire Nation. During the era of Raava, citizens of air lion turtles were able to create cloud platforms on which they could stand and jump to other clouds from.
Strong wind: It is possible for the Avatar to unleash extremely powerful winds. During the battle at Wulong Forest, while extinguishing three enormous fire whips, Aang unleashed a straightforward wind attack at Ozai. Ozai was shaken, but he apparently did not take much damage from the hit. However, the same attack did great damage to a nearby rock pillar, causing the thick pillar to crumble in a matter of seconds and causing it to collapse.
Tornadoes/hurricanes: In addition to large and powerful air movements, an Avatar level airbender can create massive tornadoes and hurricanes at will. Yangchen demonstrated this as part of showing the power the Avatar State had.
Air sphere: Aang was initially able only to hover for extended periods of time while in the Avatar State, but while fighting Fire Lord Ozai, Aang utilized this technique for flight. The Avatar flies at high-speeds while inside the air sphere, which also acts as a barrier to protect the bender during impacts, strong enough to withstand a high velocity impact with rock. Roku used a variation of this technique when defending his island from the volcano, and Wan and Korra both used it to restrain Vaatu in their respective battles against him.
Twister: A spinning funnel of air of varying size, the air vortex can be used to trap or disorient opponents as well as to deflect any objects thrown at it. Aang used this technique to form an air column during his duel with Bumi to throw aside a large boulder. (simular to tornado but instead of just atracting arrows maybe make it so the twister takes in other bending moves like earthsmash and earthblast and maybe even evaporate waterbending?)
Air wake: By running in a circle and instantly building massive momentum, a master airbender can shoot a blast of highly compressed air shaped like the user's body at a target. This move seems to have extremely high concussive force. It was first used by Aang in the Crystal Catacombs against Zuko.
