To store enough hydrogen to be useful you probably need it in liquid form like rockets use. Hydrogen is energy dense by mass, but not by how much space it takes up compared to liquid fuels.

Otherwise you'll have a really giant bag of gaseous hydrogen which does help your bouyancy, but then you've made an airship instead of a plane and a spark accidentally turns it into the Hindenburg.
