Yes if one keeps the angle of attack zero or slightly negative and then, after the plane gets enough speed, suddenly changes the angle of attack and make it positive, the plane will fly a bit. However, if the plane has no flaps, no ailerons, no other moving control surface and can not modify its initial shape in any way or suddenly drop ballast, then will it take off?
