"An American engineer, Guido Fetta, is set to test out his version of the EM Drive, the propellant-less propulsion technology that seems to break Newton's Third Law of Motion. A successful test could lead to more credibility for the unlikely tech."

EmDrive: China's radical new space drive

"Boeing's Phantom Works, which works on various classified projects and has been involved in space research, went as far as acquiring and testing the EmDrive, but say they are no longer working with Shawyer.

In 2007 the Russian Research Institute of Space Systems launched an experimental micro-satellite called Yubileiny (Jubilee) with a "non-traditional" engine which, according to Director Valery Mesnshikov, functions without ejecting reaction mass. However, it was later stated that "further developments" were needed and nothing further appears to be been published on Russian reactionless drives."
