A cylindrical fuselage is what I was thinking. I'll look into the Niven and Cherryh, thanks.

I just spent an hour writing a thoughtful reply. Because of my "inactivity" physicsforums logged me out and threw away the reply. Maybe some other day. Anyway, its all about precession.

The rotation is a factor when you want to maneuver.
How they deal with it will be a nice bit of detail for a SF story.

Next time you log in, ensure the "Remember Me?" check box is checked. (Or if you object to that for some reason, prepare your answer offline and paste it in when finished.)
