Abstract
A shroud to protect airborne stores from excessive temperatures generated by aerodynamic friction. The shroud includes a structural member which acts as a cover that comprises a matrix and a pyrotechnic. The autoignition temperature is above that of the temperatures which are generated. Upon ignition, the pyrotechnic mixture and the structural element disintegrated into gases or into particles which are so small as not to constitute a risk to nearby structure in flight.
