Abstract
A heat shield mechanism for shielding a structure in a turbine engine having a sheet metal backing which is bonded to a plurality of honeycomb cells aligned in a radially outward manner toward a casing. The honeycomb cells and sheet metal backing form a heat shield which acts as a vortex destroyer by eliminating fluid flow around the turbine structure.
