Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio Frequency Cavity in Vacuum
Authors: Harold White, Paul March, Lawrence, Vera, Sylvester, Brady and Bailey
Thrust data in mode shape TM212 at less than 8
106 Torr environment, from forward, reverse and null tests suggests that the system is consistently performing with a thrust to power ratio of 1.2 +/- 0.1 mN/Kw ()
As I had discussed in previous threads, it is the same identical journal where they initially submitted their article for publication, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (the world's largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession.): AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power

Thus, the article was never formally rejected (as others had incorrectly reported) but the long duration of peer review was due to the breakthrough, unusual subject matter of the article (the EM Drive). Such unusual topics naturally demand a much greater back and forth between peer reviewers and authors to have technical questions formally answered than articles on conventional means of propulsion. I also expected that academic reviewers would have more time for extensive peer review during the summer than during the academic year.
