My understanding is that dynamic soaring takes advantage of a cliffside or a ridge to provide upward air current. This project seems to be working on flat ground, so as far as I understand, it's not really using dynamic soaring. I think it works more like regular stunt and power kites, just relying on the "trim" of the airfoil to produce lift and thrust (and the tether's pull) to make it go upwards and then "fall" down.
