An aircraft landing gear comprising at least an axle carried in the bottom portion of the landing gear, a wheel provided with a rim mounted on the axle of the landing gear via bearings in order to rotate about an axis of rotation, a brake threaded on the axle and including a torque tube extending around the axle, friction members mounted around the torque tube and extending between the torque tube and the rim of the wheel, and at least one brake actuator designed for selectively exerting a braking force on the friction members, the brake actuator being carried by an actuator carrier to which the torque tube is secured, and a rotary drive for driving the wheel in rotation comprising firstly an actuator for driving the wheel in rotation and secondly a transmission member for selectively transmitting movement in rotation from the rotation actuator to the rim of the wheel and extending between the axle and the torque tube. The actuator carrier is centered directly by the axle and the transmission member is carried by the brake and guided in rotation thereon by bearings.
