Airbus A320 Wingtip Fence
Airbus uses wingtip fences on its planes which are similar to winglets found on other planes. They help improve fuel economy by reducing drag from the air flow around the wing tip. The pointy things coming off of them are static wicks, which help dissipate or reduce static buildup which could interfere with electronics. All aircraft have these.
This photo was taken while onboard a Northwest Airlines flight cruising at 35,000 feet. The plane was N353NB, an Airbus A319-114.
