Best Answer

It sounds like you are referring to what is called flap track fairings. There are usually several of them on the underside of each wing, and taper to a point at the back. These are covers for the flap tracks- the mechanical mechanism that allows the flaps to extend and retract. Without them the flap components would be exposed and create drag.

If you are talking about the fairly short, stubby things sticking out sideways from the hub, you're talking about pegs.
