Machine base question

Has anyone used or considered air bearings running against a surface
plate as a support for a gantry?

I assume with small clearances they should be pretty stiff when two
opposed bearings (on opposite sides of the plate) work against each other.

Comments, thoughts, etc ate all welcomed.
