Just thought id reiterate the point made earlier because they replied before I could!...Newtons 3rd law of motion. If the magnets are pushing the freight up, the freight is pushing down on the magnets and they weight exactly the same except you have added several tonnes worth of electromagnets and generators etc and every bit of metal within 20 miles will be flying in the direction of your aircraft!.
