Not too much more than fabric wrapping a conventional wing at first glance.

Sure there are fluted sections at the critical transitional areas, but it's not as wholesale as the original Wright designs from what I can tell.

The Wrights flexed the whole wing and tips of the wing not just the trailing edges as flaps do.

It's a good start though, hope they keep working on it.
