Those are slats, they are like the flaps in the back of the wing , they help the plane slow down and descend, also they use them for takeoff

[@ld8800]

those are the slats!! with those the airplale can fly at a lower airspeed to be able to land and take off!! it produces more lift

What is the thing extending from the wings which is making the noise at 0:30 ? And what does it do?
