Kinda like the graf zeppelin - Hydrogen was all the rage - the graf incident moved the commercial use and distribution of hydrogen to the back burner.
Be interesting to see the advances - the pressure required to store Hydrogen still spooks me:
Metal tank (steel/aluminum)
Approximate maximum pressure, aluminum 175 bar or 2,538 psi, steel 200 bar or 2,900 psi.
[edit]Type II
Metal tank (aluminum) with filament windings like glass fiber/aramid or carbon fiber around the metal cylinder.[5] See composite overwrapped pressure vessel.
Approximate maximum pressure, aluminum/glass 263 bar or 3,814 psi, steel/carbon or aramide 299 bar or 4,336 psi.
