That does not sound right.
Anybody want to do the math?
Assume it was under what maybe 2psi and filled 75% of the hull and provided lift at 0 to 8,000ft?


I did a back of the envelope using a web converter and 7,062,000 ft2 of H2 is a little over 36,000 lbs so 20 tons is in the ballpark.

Thank you, curious, what dimensions did you use to approximate the H2 on board cells?
