Not necessarily. Some planes (like biplanes) can maintain lift even when the wings are stalled (no positive airflow) because they have huge props pushing large amounts of air over big wing surfaces. That wouldn't be a riddle, though, but an engineering problem. I'd be interested to see a biplane do a stalled 0mph take-off. That would rock!
