this a list of current tutorials, start there, then learn how to make it fly! 
If you are new to Blender, you may want to start with something simpler than a human form. I know, how about a Formula 1 car! Oh wait… that contest is over… 
Seriously, start with something mechanical like a spacecraft first. The human form is harder than it looks.

One option would be to model a human by hand but this needs some experience. As dreamsgate wrote you should first go through some tutorials.
A faster way would be to use the “makehuman” skript. I’m sure you will find the link with the search function.
To make a complex object like a human model fly you will need amatures.
To deal with them you also should first do some experiments with some tutorials.
CurtisS, this time you won. Congrats
