The invention relates to a disc brake for an aircraft wheel, comprising friction discs (20,30), including rotor discs and stator discs, a structure comprising a torsion tube (11) on which the discs are fitted, a rear plate (12) which is located at one end of the tube, and a support (13) for braking actuators (14,15) at another end of the tube, the actuators being able to be selectively activated in order to apply a pressing force to the discs. According to the invention, the discs are separated into two groups, including a first group (20) which can be used alone for taxiing braking operations, and a second group (30) which can be used alone or in conjunction with the first group for take-off/landing braking operations.
