Hydrogen: Not dangerous?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that hydrogen in
lighter-than-air craft is not inherently dangerous,
although it does have a bad reputation because of the Hindenburg.
If my memory is correct, some sort of design flaw was
more to blame than the hydrogen.
I think flammable airplane dope was used on the skin,
and some heat source was not properly isolated.
If this is correct [anybody out there know for sure?],
then hydrogen might be a PR problem,
but not an engineering problem.
