No. Air brakes are not a parameter in determining whether or not a vehicle needs a CDL.

Does Minnesota require an air brake endorsement on 26000 GVW trucks?
There's no such thing as an air brake endorsement on any US license - only a restriction for CDL holders which bars them from operating a vehicle requiring a CDL which is equipped with air brakes if they don't pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV which is equipped with air brakes.
Can you obtain a Class A CDL license for a truck and camper that has no air brakes?
You can get a Class A CDL without air brakes - you'll just have a "no air brakes" restriction which prohibits you from operating a CMV equipped with air brakes. The vehicles you road test have to be commercial vehicles subject to FHWA regulations - recreational vehicles are exempt, so you cannot get a CDL with one.
Do you need an air brake endorsement when driving a vehicle over 26000?
If the vehicle is for commercial/business use, or otherwise does not fall into an exempted category with the FMCSR which makes it not require a CDL (and is operated within the conditions which must be met for that exemption to be applicable), then that vehicle requires a CDL. If it is equipped with air brakes, and requires a CDL, then the driver must have completed and passed the written air brakes test, and must have performed their pretrip and road tests in a CDL vehicle equipped with air brakes. Otherwise, they get a restriction which bars them from operating a vehicle which requires a CDL and is equipped with air brakes. If the vehicle does not require a CDL, then no endorsement for air brakes is needed - air brake endorsements do not exist on US licenses; only the aforementioned restriction for CDL holders.
Does a class b cdl include air brake endorsement?
No such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license. If a CDL applicant does not pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV equipped with air brakes, then they receive a restriction which prohibits them from operating a CMV equipped with air brakes.
Do you need an air brake endorsement on a non cdl license to drive a non cdl vehicle under 26000lbs that has air brakes?
There is no air brake endorsement - if a CDL driver does not complete the air brakes portion of the written test, and test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, then they get an "L" restriction on their CDL, prohibiting them from driving commercial vehicles with air brakes. For some bizarre reason, this only applies to CDL drivers - an F750 equipped with air brakes and grossing at 26,000 lbs or less does not require a CDL or air brake permissions. If it's loaded to the point where it weights 26,0001 lbs or more, now it requires a CDL without an air brake restriction. If it weighs under 26,000 lbs. but is designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) or is transporting hazardous materials, then again, it'll require a CDL with the appropriate endorsements and no air brake restriction. But Joe Average can drive around in a U-Haul or RV weighing significantly more than anything they've ever driven in their entire life, and equipped with air brakes, and it requires not one additional bit of licencing or training for them to be able to do this.
Does the state of Montana require an air brake endorsement on a less than 26000 GVW truck?
There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on a US license - only a restriction for CDL holders who do not pass the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV which is equipped with air brakes.
Do you need a air brake endorsement for a business truck under 26001 pounds in Arizona?
There is no such thing as an air brake endorsement on any US license, CDL or otherwise. Only a restriction for CDL holders if they don't complete the written air brakes test and perform their pretrip and road tests in a CMV equipped with air brakes, which prohibits them from operating a vehicle requiring a CDL which is equipped with air brakes.
How do you get an air brake license?
In the US, unless you have a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL), you don't need any additional endorsements to operate a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes. If you're going for a CDL, then you need to take and pass the written test for air brakes, as well as road test on a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
