>What's the Dean Drive?

As I remember, it was a reactionless drive that used gyroscopes to supposedly
break Newton's third law of motion.  Pretty much the same idea our very own
Eric Laithwaite came up with.  There was an Analog cover that showed a US Navy
submarine in space - the suggestion being that a submarine was already
airtight and self sufficient, just slap a Dean Drive on it and there you go.
Funnily enough nothing much came of it.

ObHW - "Laithwaite Star Drive" on Simon House's _Yassassim_.  See, this is on
topic! :)
