Air springs are progressive in spring rate. How progressive is based largely on volume and pressure of the airbag, but also airbag material and design.

It will give people a much better idea of how this all works.
Air springs are HIGHLY developed in other markets (motocross bikes and mountain bikes for example). They have done a lot of stuff to try and reduce the progressive nature of airsprings, but ultimately, an air spring is going to be progressive in spring rate.

We're working on some statistical data to show the correlation in height / psi to the spring rate. We're just scratching the surface here as this "scene" is very new to air suspension. We don't want to throw too much knowledge down in the first post.
