Wouldn't those most likely be referred to as "slats" ? Same principle,
just a difference in approach (pun intended). :-)

The red Swift had the slots closed. The Swift has long led to a lot of
hangar talk about these slots. Most agree that there is not much speed
to be gained by closing them unless a lot of horsepower has been added,
resulting in speeds above 170 mph. Everyone seems to hold to his own
opinion about how closing the slots affects stall characteristics.

The Gypsy Moth had slot that would open automatically at low speeds.
Made a lot of noise on final approach as they slapped open and closed.
