This technology is completely different to bending spacetime. It's a different field of study. A breakthrough with the EM drive would be as relevant to FTL travel as a breakthrough with the combustion engine.

Regarding what it would be like, you wouldn't notice it. You'd be flying through the vastness of space. Passenger aircraft routinely travel at around 500mph but aside from acceleration, you don't notice it once your velocity is stable.

Not trying to Debbie downer you guys, just trying to help answer some points.

Yeah, except from my understanding of it, they aren't 100% sure on how this works. Which makes those fluctuation readings interesting. As with any new physics, it can lead to unexpected things.
