Our wing:
Select the mesh wing
and apply deforming mesh collection:
Make the membranes

... you
can see the NURBS tesellated the surface ...
set advance surface

You can set it higher
if you wish:
Apply a simple 2
sided material. The reason for this is we are trying to make a very
simple wing without close faces and the subsequent self-intersection
issues [more on that to come]
With membrane selection,
apply cloth modifier:
Attach to defmesh

Specify the wing
[the mesh with bones]:
Avoid Self-Intersections – nasty! This bugger takes
a [If your wings are
only a single plane you can get away with it.]
Set up the vertices
to be constrained:
Tip – use this and
the Ctrl key:
EXIT VERTEX SUB-OBJECT MODE
Make sure properties
of both the wing and the membranes are set to UNYIELDING
... this is done by selecting the MESH and using this button:
With the membrane
selected, apply a cloth collection:
Disable collision
between wing and membrane:

If it looks too loose,
make some changes, for example, increase air resistance to 50:

is slowness generating the preview, you can reduce substeps in the preview
