Zusammenfassung:An aircraft includes a propulsion unit with a compressor and a bleed air device for providing bleed air from the propulsion unit, a fuel tank for a fuel, at least one fuel cell, a reactor for reforming fuel from the fuel tank to a hydrogen-containing fuel gas, and at least one feed unit with a bleed air inlet, a fuel inlet, an oxidizing agent outlet, and a fuel outlet. The feed unit can selectively and not simultaneously feed an oxidizing agent by means of the oxidizing agent outlet or fuel by means of the fuel outlet into the reactor. The feed unit is connected to the bleed air device and designed to provide the oxidizing agent based on bleed air.
