Cool looking craft, and what could possibly go wrong from using hydrogen?

It’s not the 30’s.
Currently Toyota sells Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell car.

Much prefer fuel cells via hydrogen to batteries.
The “we love batteries” folks never consider where and how is all the electricity for recharging the batteries coming from. It’s not going to be wind and solar.

About the same that can go wrong using gasoline.

While the vision of whisking passengers between rooftops in aircraft capable of vertical takeoff has largely solidified in the general shape of multiple rotors... Is this a passenger transport or a personal transport vehicle?
If it's a passenger transport, I seem to recall an existing craft called a helicopter.
If it's a personal transport, this is just the most recent flavor of the decade.
I have lived with 6 decades of flavors/promises. Hasn't happened. The biggest problem isn't the equipment. It's the nut behind the wheel.
As seen all the time on our roads and highways, most people can barely operate an automobile in 2 dimensions. Vanishingly few are capable of operating a craft in 3 dimensions, let alone the necessary 4th dimension of time.
The human problem is the major problem to be solved to make personal aircraft viable. The rest has been in our grasp for some time.

Wouldn’t a turbojet engine burning hydrogen instead of petroleum be more efficient. Lockheed tested an L-1011 with hydrogen fuel decades ago.

Hydrogen sure does put rockets in orbit. I am sure it could do the same for cars.

You beat me to it right out of the starting gate. :) Still, with the space program and hydrogen fueled cars, I suppose the situation has improved... (

It helps if you don’t coat the envelope or skin of the dirigible with a flammable cousin of thermite. Much of that fire on the skin is the skin itself going up.
