An auxiliary rotating structure (11) adapted for a tire (10) of an aircraft (2) includes a first side wall (111) and a second side wall (112). The first side wall (111) is fixed on a wall (101) of the tire (10) and rotates along with the tire (10). A side (1120) of the second side wall (112) is connected to a side (1110) of the first side wall (111) to form a chamber (113) between the first side wall (111) and the second side wall (112). An opening (114) is formed between the other side (1111) of the first side wall (111) and the other side (1121) of the second side wall (112) and communicated with the chamber (113). The second side wall (112) is made of resilient material. When the auxiliary rotating structure (11) is located at a lower side of the tire (10), an air flow (W) passes through the opening (114) into the chamber (113) to generate a first torque along a first rotary direction (R1) for rotating the tire (10).
