You can throw up all the math you'd like but in layman's speak and air bag has essentially an infinite spring rate. You can optimize the damping for a specific air bag height/pressure but in the real world that is extremely difficult because of the "infinite rate" nature. If you can have dynamic ride height while maintaining constant bag pressure then, sure... its possible. This is why GM's magnetic ride control is so amazing - it can compensate on the fly.
Still not sold on air ride but please keep up the R&D. Hope it gets there soon!
