Abstract
The invention provides a method of reducing the cooling time for disks of a brake (5) of an aircraft wheel (1) fitted with a heat screen (10) extending between the wheel and the disks of the brake, and mounted to rotate on aircraft landing gear about an axis of rotation, the method comprising making perforations (11, 12, 13) through the heat screen to allow air heated by the disks to pass through the heat screen towards the wheel, the perforations being provided with obstacles to block any radiation from passing directly from the disks towards the wheel.
