Claim 0:
1. A heat shield assembly comprising:
a carrier comprising metallic material and including a base and a load flange that extends outwardly away from the base, and
a heat-shield tile comprising material different than the carrier and arranged to cover the carrier to protect the carrier from high-temperature air surrounding the heat shield assembly, the heat-shield tile including an outer wall configured to be exposed to the high-temperature air and an attachment feature that extends inwardly toward the base of the carrier,
wherein the attachment feature included in the heat-shield tile is coupled with the base to cause the load flange to engage the outer wall and apply an outward force to the outer wall, and
wherein the attachment feature and the load flange cooperate to impart a positive bending moment on the outer wall of the heat-shield tile.
