Are there any powered aircraft out there with negative flap positions
for faster cruising/lower drag?


Several. the Seawind comes to mind as one that uses a "reflex"
position for cruise.


Initial reports indicate that the Barrows Bearhawk can get a lot of
benefit from reflexing the flaps slightly at cruise.
