The invention relates to a method of driving an aircraft undercarriage between a deployed position and a retracted position, the undercarriage comprising a leg (2) that is hinged to a structure of the aircraft in order to be movable between those two positions and being stabilized in the deployed position by means of a brace member (10) comprising two limbs (11, 12) that are hinged to each other, one of which is coupled to the leg and the other of which is coupled to the structure of the aircraft, the limbs being brought into an aligned position when the leg is in the deployed position. According to the invention, a rotary actuator (20) is arranged on the aircraft, which actuator comprises first and second cranks (22, 24) that are mounted to turn freely about a common axis of rotation but that have a relative angular position that can be controlled, and that are arranged to stabilize the limbs of the brace member in the substantially aligned position.
