The longstanding dismissal of inertial propulsion as a violation of Newton’s third law is reexamined through a fresh lens. We show that the paradox stems not from any breach of conservation laws, but from a conventional and incomplete application of momentum conservation—one that assumes rigid-body dynamics and overlooks internal force geometry. By analyzing systems with cyclic, non-collinear internal components, we demonstrate that center-of-mass translation can arise without external interaction, via self-contained momentum exchange. This motion emerges directly from Newtonian mechanics, reframing so-called ``reactionless'' drives as physically valid, self-contained propulsion systems. This reinterpretation resolves the inertial drive paradox and casts decades of anomalous experimental reports not as violations of physics, but as glimpses of an overlooked mechanism. Building on this foundation, we outline a continuum of propulsion architectures: from mechanical constructs to electromagnetic analogs, and ultimately to inertial warp drives. The proposed framework suggests that faster-than-light concepts like the Alcubierre drive may be reimagined—not by bending spacetime, but by bending a system’s inertial response. Realization of such systems could redefine spaceship engineering, expanding both the conceptual and technological boundaries of propulsion science.
