The invention relates to an assembly for rotationally friction driving the wheel of an airplane (3) provided with a driving track (4) and so mounted as to rotate about an axis of rotation on an axle (2) carried by the lower part of an airplane landing gear, with the assembly comprising: a base (22) intended to be fixed to the lower part of the landing gear; two arms (24) mounted to pivot on the base; rollers (21) so mounted as to rotate at the end of each arm, with each roller being associated with a pinion for rotationally driving (31) the roller; a central pinion (26) so mounted as to rotate along the arms pivot axis so that the rollers driving pinions engage with the central pinion; actuating means (29) so acting on the arms of the assembly as to position same either in a disengaged position in which the rollers are separated from the driving track, or in an engaged position in which the rollers are held to rest on the driving track with a predetermined bearing force.
