> that means you only get 1g of container/cargo/engine for every 22.4L of gas enclosed.
For reference, the Hindenburg carried about 200 million liters of gas. A nitrogen craft would need approximately 1.52 million liters to carry a single 150#/68kg human being, not counting the additional gas needed for the craft itself.
So if you want to build a Hindenburg-size craft to carry about half a dozen people it might actually be plausible!
