摘要： An aircraft wheel rotating device for effecting rotation of a wheel of an aircraft prior to landing includes a mounting plate in which a plurality of holes is positioned. Respective holes are alignable with bolts of a hub of a wheel that is rotationally attached to an axle of an aircraft. The mounting plate thus is mountable to the hub. A tubular housing is attached to and extends axially from the mounting plate. Each blade of a plurality of blades is rotationally attached to the tubular housing. The blades engage an airstream to rotate the wheel about the axle. A pitch adjustment module is operationally engaged to the plurality of blades and is positioned to selectively adjust a pitch of each blade to substantially match a tangential speed of the wheel to a speed of the aircraft relative to the ground at landing.
