Disclosed are systems for converting rotational momentum into linear propulsion. A propulsion system includes one or more thrust units with masses controllably driven by actuators to generate inertia that thrusts a vehicle with the propulsion system in a desired direction. The propulsion system can be configured to have multiple units, each configured to generate thrust in a desired direction and counteract or neutralize thrust in other directions. The propulsion system can generate thrust via two operational cycles and/or through continuous operation. The propulsion system may comprise two mirroring units, each configured to operate in mirrored synchrony to generate a net thrust in a desired direction and counteract or neutralize thrust in other or undesired directions.
