An aircraft comprising a fuselage, a wing attached thereto, a jet engine attached to the wing or to the fuselage and comprising a main engine and an accessory arrangement, and a heat recovery arrangement. The heat recovery arrangement comprises a heat exchanger arranged in an exhaust zone of the main engine such that heat can be exchanged between an exhaust gas stream exiting the main engine and a working fluid passed through the heat exchanger, an energy converting arrangement received in the fuselage and passed through by the working fluid, the energy converting arrangement comprising an energy source driven by the working fluid, and a pipe arrangement for recirculating working fluid between the heat exchanger and the energy converting arrangement. An aircraft is provided having reduced complexity and increased efficiency, and an energy recirculation line is provided for transmitting energy from the energy source to the accessory arrangement.
