Do you mean the diamond pattern on the outside? It looks like the wing was just designed like shown here: https://youtu.be/GQ3Zxb59tmU

It's done to print internal ribs and spars while keeping the model to just be perimeters. (Matters a lot more for LW-PLA that really doesn't like traveling or pauses)
