Abstract: A heat shield assembly comprising a plurality of heat shield components each comprising a substantially C-shaped structure of heat shield material defining a substantially rectangular body having a top and two opposing elongate side walls extending from respective opposite sides of the top to a bottom edge, the top and the side walls defining a substantially rectangular inner cavity to receive, in use, a rotor lug on the periphery of a rotor disk of a brake stack, each heat shield component further comprising flanges extending outwards from the bottom of the side walls at both sides and both ends of the heat shield component, and wherein the flanges are configured to allow overlap with a flange of an adjacent heat shield component, in use.

Abstract: An attachment bracket for fastening a heat shield panel of a wheel assembly to a radially inner surface of a wheel, the bracket having an essentially Z-shaped structure comprising an attachment part defining two inner contact surfaces in a first plane each shaped to form, in use, a surface contact with the radially outer surface of the heat shield panel, and a wheel connector part defining an outer contact surface in a second plane arranged to form, in use, a surface contact with the wheel when the heat shield panel is located in position relative to the wheel, where the first and second planes are essentially parallel but spaced apart in the axial direction of the wheel, and a sloping connector part extending from the first plane to the second plane connecting a first end of the attachment part to a first end of the wheel connector part.
