Aircraft with an emission-free drive and method for emission-free driving of an aircraft. The aircraft includes a drive device, having a flapping wing device, structured and arranged to generate thrust, a lift device structured and arranged to generate lift, and a heat engine, having at least one flat-plate Stirling engine drivable by solar thermal radiation, structured and arranged to convert thermal energy into kinetic energy to drive the drive device. The flapping wing device includes at least one flapping wing, which is pivotable transverse to a flight direction.
