A rail-based modular aircraft system may include a rail extending from a first end to a second end. The rail-based modular aircraft system may include a constant cross-sectional shape from the first end to the second end. The rail may also include a wing module configured to interface with the rail such that the wing module is individually movable along at least a portion of the rail and configured to be fixable at a fixed point along the rail. The rail-based modular aircraft system may also include a propulsion module configured to interface with the rail such that the propulsion module is individually movable along at least a portion of the rail and configured to be fixable at a fixed point along the rail. The propulsion module may be configured to provide forward motion to the modular aircraft system.
