A cargo management system is provided comprising an air cushion cargo shuttle, an air blower configured to blow air beneath the air cushion cargo shuttle, and an inductive charging receiver on the cargo shuttle. In various embodiments, an energy storage module may be electrically coupled to the inductive charging receiver. A wireless charging station may inductively couple with the inductive charging receiver. The inductive charging receiver may include a first resonant coil, and the wireless charging station may include a second resonant coil. The wireless charging station may switch on in response to the air cushion cargo shuttle entering a desired range. A floor panel may rest beneath the air cushion cargo shuttle with the wireless charging station beneath the floor panel. The floor panel may comprise at least one of a composite material or a metallic material.
