Drive equipment for rotating by friction an aircraft wheel equipped with a drive track and mounted to turn about an axis (X) on an axle of an aircraft undercarriage. The equipment comprise a base (22), a slide (24) mounted on the base on a sliding axis extending in a radial direction (R1, R1), a support (26) pivotable on the slide on an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel; two rollers (21) rotatable on rotation axes parallel to the pivot axis; a central shaft (28) mounted for rotation on the support and being in engagement with the two rollers to provide their rotation; and an actuator (23A, 23B, 30) for moving the slide and the support between a disengagement position with the rollers distant from the wheel drive track and an engagement position with the rollers are held in contact with the drive track of the wheel.
