Inertial Mass Separate From Gravitational Mass?
Einstein's statement of the equivalence principle-
A little reflection will show that the law of the equality of the inertial and gravitational mass is equivalent to the assertion that the acceleration imparted to a body by a gravitational field is independent of the nature of the body.

Responding to Mechanical Anti-Gravity- NASA
Based on the experiences of the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project, suggestions are offered for constructively
responding to proposals that purport breakthrough propulsion using mechanical devices. Because of the relatively
large number of unsolicited submissions received (about 1 per workday) and because many of these involve similar
concepts, this report is offered to help the would-be submitters...
