Systems and methods for ground-based aircraft thrust systems are provided. A sled can be adapted to support at least wings and a fuselage of an aircraft. A guideway can be configured to receive the sled and move the sled along the guideway for assisted takeoff of the aircraft. A magnetic propulsion system can be configured to levitate the sled and propel the sled along the guideway independent of thrust provided by the aircraft.
