I know nothing about the topic, but there seems to be a nice Wikipedia article that your question prompted me to find: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-powered_aircraft

I'm suddenly imagining a hydrogen balloon-plane at take off that uses up the hydrogen in the balloon as it flies, until the balloon has been fully reeled back into the plane and it lands on a runway like a normal plane, with reserve hydrogen in its wing-tanks.

If you time it right, it just slowly drifts to the ground and lands vertically with a slight jolt.
