The present invention discloses a wheel drive unit for attachment to an aircraft running gear, including a drive motor (22) or a drive motor (22) with subsequent transmission (24) and comprising the following features: a mounting component (10) adapted to be mounted to a supporting component of the aircraft running gear; a coupling component (14) releasably anchored to the mounting component (10) in non-rotatable fashion; the drive motor being supported by means of the coupling component (14) such that the coupling component (14) provides for torque support of the drive motor; a pluggable connection (60) for connecting at least one pair of electric line sections and/or at least one pair of fluid line sections; the torque output of the drive motor (22) or of the subsequent transmission (24) being adapted to establish a torque-transmitting connection to a wheel (8) of the aircraft running gear when the wheel drive unit is attached to the aircraft running gear; the wheel drive unit - without the mounting component - when the anchoring to the mounting component (10) is released, being demountable from the aircraft running gear which also separates the two parts of the pluggable connection (60) from each other.
