Hi Michael, There would be a number of obstacles. The high pressure needed to store and transport an efficient amount of air. The need for a whole new support structure. The complexity of a compressor system capable of delivering efficient pressure. The heat and cold developed in the process. Not to mention the maintenance of that whole system.
