  That looks like an emergency hydraulic generator. The unit could be deployed in an emergency; the prop would spin and provide just enough hydraulic power (and in some cases electric too) to hobble the aircraft home.

  It's real... look up 'gimli glider' on wikipedia. Came in really handy when an Air Canada 767 ran out of fuel in 1983.

  It is called a RAT and stands for Ram air Turbine!
