The A2 is now in production. Video can be seen here.
The design mission for the A2 has been to create a suit that current AURA pilots will recognize and feel at-home in, but with improved glide characteristics and increased efficiency. The A2 is not larger than the original AURA in total surface area. It has a redesigned leg wing profile and volume change, a new leading edge design, an evolved arm wing profile, and many updated features to enhance comfort and durability on the suit. Our focus was on reducing drag and increasing efficiency - we did not increase the surface area. Our team pilots have been commenting on how "smooth" it feels when pulling out of a dive, and how the suit’s range is increased with a less physical feel on longer flights and an even more precise feel in carving turns.
