An aircraft wheel spinning assembly includes a turbine that is movably mounted on an aircraft wheel. The turbine is positionable in a deployed position having the turbine being exposed with respect to the aircraft wheel. In this way the turbine is exposed to wind and the turbine generates rotational torque and subsequently rotates the aircraft wheel when the turbine is exposed to wind. Thus, the turbine reduces friction between a tire mounted on the aircraft wheel and a runway when the aircraft upon which the aircraft tire is mounted is landing on the runway. A hub is coupled to the aircraft wheel and a plurality of actuators is each coupled between the hub and the turbine. Each of the actuators is turned on to urge the turbine into the deployed position and each of the actuators is turned off to retract the turbine into the aircraft wheel.
