Abstract:
A driving device for driving a wheel of an airplane in a direction same as that of a revolution of the wheel after landing, includes a revolution drive disc having a flat ring plate having an attachment portion adapted to attach on a side surface of a tire of the wheel; and a plurality of fins arranged on the ring plate. The plurality of fins is obliquely arranged on an outer side surface of the ring plate so that when the plurality of fins receives relative atmospheric air flow, a torque generated by the fins at a lower side of the tire in the direction same as that of the revolution of the wheel after landing is larger than a torque generated by the fins at an upper side of the tire in a direction reverse to that of the revolution of the wheel after landing.
