A method is described for reducing contrails during operation of an aircraft (100, 100′) having a heat engine 10. The method includes inducing a condensation of moisture contained in the exhaust gas (A) of the heat engine by mixing at least a portion of the exhaust gas with ambient air (U) of the aircraft as well as separating the condensed-out water on the aircraft. Also described is an aircraft (100, 100′) having a heat engine (10). The aircraft includes at least one nozzle (30) which is adapted for conducting exhaust gas (A) from the heat engine of the aircraft at least partially into ambient air (U) of the aircraft and thus to produce a gas mixture, and at least one separator device (40) for separating condensed-out water from the gas mixture.
