An improvement in an airplane tire to obtain a more even distribution of temperature within the crown of the tire. An airplane tire comprises a crown reinforced by a working reinforcement (3), comprising at least one layer of working reinforcement (30) made up of axially juxtaposed substantially circumferential strips (31) made up of mutually parallel textile reinforcing elements (32) coated with a polymer coating material (33). Each strip is in contact, over at least its radially inner axial face, with a heat transfer element (34) comprising at least one heat-conducting material with thermal conductivity at least equal to 50 times the thermal conductivity of the polymer coating material. The product of the thickness of a heat transfer element by the tension modulus of a heat transfer element is at most equal to 0.3 times the product of the thickness of the strip by the tension modulus of the strip.
An airplane tire comprising:
A metalized strip, comprising a strip comprising mutually parallel textile reinforcing elements coated in a polymer coating material, wherein the strip is in contact, over at least its radially inner axial face, with a heat transfer element comprising at least one heat-conducting material, wherein the thermal conductivity of a heat-conducting material of a heat transfer element is at least equal to 50 times the thermal conductivity of the polymer coating material of the textile reinforcing elements of the strip in contact with the heat transfer element, and wherein the product of the thickness of a heat transfer element by the tension modulus of a heat transfer element is at most equal to 0.3 times the product of the thickness of the strip by the tension modulus of the strip.
