Abstract
An aircraft wheel includes a rim that is secured to a central hub defining an axis of rotation of the wheel. The wheel includes one or more driving pins that extend from the hub, projecting in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel so as to cooperate with a driving member for driving the wheel in rotation. The driving pin is distinct from bolts assembling together parts of the wheel.

An aircraft wheel comprising two half-wheels assembled together by bolts, each of the half wheels comprising a half-rim, a half-hub defining an axis of rotation of the aircraft wheel, and a half-web securing the half-rim and the half-hub coaxially with each other, the bolts being arranged in facing orifices formed in the half-webs, the aircraft wheel comprising:
- a first driving dog held in position on one of the half-hubs by screws screwed into holes provided on said one of the half-hubs, and
- at least one driving pin that extends from said one of the half-hubs, projecting in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the aircraft wheel so as to cooperate with first driving dog so that a rotational driving torque input into the aircraft wheel wheel via the first driving dog does not pass through the screws.
