I see that the Airlander has been moved back into its hanger.

With it being only 60% buoyant, that would imply that the dead weight is 8 tonnes - or is it the full 20 tonnes?

AFAICT, thrust is required to create forward motion so that the shape can generate 40% of the required lift (buoyancy only provides 60% of the stated lift).
