Greetings,

Pardon my ignorance ... but on most of the larger Being and AirBus airliners ... the trailing edges of the wings have three or more protruding "bars" (for want of a better term).

What are they called ... how do they work ... and are they for increased flight stability? Thanks.

those fairings house the flap guides and motors.
