The invention relates to a method for driving an air vehicle using a multilevel converter with at least two converter modules. A first operating voltage is applied to at least one of the converter modules in a first operating state, and a second operating voltage which is lower than the first operating voltage is applied to the converter module in a second operating state. The air vehicle is designed to carry out such a method and comprises an electric drive which has at least one multilevel converter with at least two converter modules, each of which is designed and connected so as to be supplied with a first operating voltage in a first operating state and with a second operating voltage which is lower than the first operating voltage in a second operating state. Advantageously, the air vehicle is an airplane, in particular a hybrid electric airplane.
