>>10627150>How would flight in a massive oneill cylinder work?You can do it, youd just want to raise up towards the axis (there you'd feel free fall) and have your runways going at an angle since the ground is moving under your feet.
Really though you should have a good mass transit system built into your habitat, something like rail that travels the length of your habitat where people can just walk the remaining distance.
Weather depends on more factors, like how big your colony is, and how much moisture do you have in the air at any one time.
There are some big stadiums, and buildings that exist right now that are big enough for clouds to form inside. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have plenty of green spaces and open water on your colony so you can have an oxygen and water cycle that's at least partially self regulating.
Thanks to how the colony is rotating, if you did have storms they wouldn't have cyclonic motion like we'd see here on earth, they would be turned on their sides because of the difference in the rotation between the surface of a convex sphere and a concave cylinder.
If you really want to paint a picture in your mind of how a giant rotating habitat would look and feel, read the book Eon by Greg Bear. The book is kind of meh, but where it really shines is that half the book is just exposition dumps and scenery porn about all the minutia of the cities in Thistledown.
