A Q (another) only a non-aviator can ask :)

I've seen "negative flaps" mentioned on spec sheets before.

A guess would be flaps extending upward and killing lift necessitated by the
STOL nature of the aircraft.

Am I even close?

Sometimes it's best to land without flaps.

In my particular a/c, landings with *negative* flaps are advised. You
don't
want to go there.

Is it possible to land without using the flaps at all? Just a
combination of the throttle (forward thrust too, perhaps?), elevator
and ailerons...

I know this will sound like a shocker but I'd appreciate a definitive
NO, so that at least one doubt is bedded
