Really?
Given jets take off in very marginal conditions with tonnes of high octane fuel n their wings.
Is the FAA that much of a bigot? The Hindenburg was minor compared to what we regularly see in crashing jets.

Congress would probably have to pass legislation to allow it. https://www.thecgo.org/benchmark/bring-back-hydrogen-lifting-gas/ https://www.thecgo.org/benchmark/bring-back-hydrogen-lifting... Besides the lifting gas, the previous comment mentioned "autonomous". The FAA also prohibits autonomous aircraft outside some very limited designated airspace. Until that ban is lifted, they can't be used for any real commercial service.
