Pages of Unflown Wings, some of them are drug-fueled creations for sure.

Upper Vortex Flap - A Versatile Surface For Highly Swept Wings

 

While several types of leading edge devices exist for enhancing vortex lift at high angles of attack, the interesting thing about "upper vortex flaps" is that they also work well at low angles of attack. The CV variant of the X-32 had these inboard of its conventional leading edge slats to provide better low speed handling characteristics (e.g., lower AoA at approach and landing speeds) given it's initial pure delta configuration.
