No not that ... he means that which protrudes out like a refuel-er probe.... I think could be some kind of antenna?

it is called Pitot tube Basically, a pitot tube is used in wind tunnel experiments and on airplanes to measure flow speed. It's a slender tube that has two holes on it. The front hole is placed in the airstream to measure what's called the stagnation pressure. The side hole measures the static pressure. By measuring the difference between these pressures, you get the dynamic pressure, which can be used to calculate airspeed.

On an airplane, the pitot tube can be mounted in a number of ways, including jutting out from the edge of the wing or sticking up from the fuselage
 
you find similar probes stickingn out of passenger jets......

air speed sensing tubes...
nothing special or high tech.
