Agreed with the low aspect ratio high incidence of the circled devices, even if ram lift is a thing too (there's still lift after stall) – | |

As far as airlines are concerned, every airliner that I know of has its undercarriage doors open parallel to the airflow, so they physically cannot produce lift. | |
