Those close-set main wheels aren't going to keep it level on rough ground.

Electric powered wheels to help get to flying speed is a very good idea though. Acceleration is not jets strong point.

Since most of the energy for the launch (until you break ground, anyhow)
would be coming from the wheels, would this qualify as a ground launch?

Inquiring minds want to know...
