I recently flew on an Airbus 320 (Northwest). I
noticed that underneath the wings there were what appeared
to be support 'struts'. I think that there were three of
them on each wing. On the end (tail side) of these 'struts'
there was a black rod sticking out. It looked similar to a
car antenna. There were similar rods (five I think) sticking
out of the winglets. What are these rods? In addition, are
the 'struts' called struts and are they used for support?
thanx,
