With regard to a flat wing as in many military fighters, an aircraft flying inverted must have a higher AOA. The air flowing over the upper surface will still have further to travel than that flowing underneath due to the AOA, so a low pressure area above the (inverted) wing will still form, resulting in upwards lift.
