ABSTRACT:
A generally cylindrical heat shield is provided for attachment to the wheel of an aircraft for encircling a brake disc stack. The cylindrical shield is configured from a plurality of interleaved arcuate sectors. The sectors are interconnected by means of a slip joint which allows each of the sectors a degree of lateral or circumferential movement with respect to each other to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. Each of the sectors includes a plurality of layers, typically a pair of outer skins having an inner layer therebetween. A spaced relationship between the skins and the inner layer is maintained by spacers which laterally engage the skins, holding them in fixed spaced relationship, while allowing lateral movement at the spacers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. The inner layer is maintained in positional relationship with respect to the skins by spacers in one embodiment, or by detents in the skins engaging the layer in another.
