Abstract
An aircraft wheel comprising two half-wheels (1, 2) assembled together by means of bolt fasteners (10; 110) clamping together disks of the half-wheels, each bolt fastener comprising a bolt (11; 111) with an end forming a screw head (12; 112) and a threaded end (13; 113) for receiving a nut (14; 114), the wheel also being fitted with drive keys (20; 120) that are fitted to one of the half-wheels for driving brake disks in rotation, the wheel being characterized in that each drive key has a first end (23; 123) that is shaped to co-operate with the screw head of one of the bolts so that said first end is held and prevented from moving when the key is in place on the wheel.
