Abstract
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.
