ABSTRACT:
The thermal protection device is made up of a plurality of juxtaposed unit modules each comprising a fairing element provided with fixing tabs and thermal insulation integrated in the fairing element. The gap between neighboring fairing elements is limited to the minimum width necessary for accommodating thermal expansion thereof. The connection means which releasably connect the fixing tab to a primary structure to be protected comprise a ball fixed to the fixing tab in adjustable manner and capable of being locked in a corresponding socket of a retaining part fixed to the primary structure. The ball is locked in its socket by means of a bolt capable of being released by action exerted against a resilient return force.
