Hyperdrive

A hyperdrive was a method of faster-than-light travel used by several species. Upon activation, the drive propelled the spacecraft into hyperspace.
In 2070, the human colony ship Heart left Earth with what was supposed to be a "hyperdrive" on board, something the Tenth Doctor knew had not been successfully produced by humans in this era.
