With no human as a passenger and enough altitutude it is possible currently. There is no way to carry the weight of oxygen in bottles to support a human and no heat would be a fatal issue.

At lower elevations where a human could survive far too risky as the plane would be ripped apart. Perhaps in the future canot be ruled out if there is a major breakthrough in solar cells. Airspeed may still remain a problem though for human flight.
