Nope. Airflow has to be faster on the upper surface of the wing with the flap down and it rises because of Mr. Bernouli's theorums (faster air over the surface = lower pressure). However, the flap also creates drag and there is adverse yaw as the wing with the up aileron continues on at a faster rate; twisting the aircraft towards the lower aileron side. In short, heavier than air flight is impossible. ;-)
