A chin ring heat shield for a wheel assembly is provided. The chin ring heat shield is arranged to provide a shield between convection and radiation heat from braking components and a tire of the wheel assembly. The chin ring includes a first, radially extending, flat portion extending from a first chin ring end and a second, concave portion extending generally axially away from the first portion to a second chin ring end. The axial length from the first chin ring end to the second chin ring end is sufficient to block a line of sight between the braking components and the tire when the chin ring is mounted between the braking components and the tire.

A piston engaging member of a piston assembly for engaging a pressure plate of an aircraft brake system, the engaging member comprising a body having a first side configured to selectably engage with the pressure plate, and a mount on a second side of the body configured to mount the piston engaging member with a piston of the piston assembly wherein the body comprises a cellular structure between the first and second sides.

Piston engaging member

A braking system () for an aircraft wheel () comprises first and second brake rotor discs () axially spaced along an axis (A) and rotationally coupled to the wheel (), a stator disc () arranged axially between the first and second rotor discs (), and a heat shield () mounted to at least one of the first and second rotor discs (). Radially outer portions () of the first and second rotor discs () extend radially outwardly of the stator disc () to define a gap () between the radially outer portions () of the first and second rotor discs (). The heat shield () extends at least partially over or into the gap ().
