Claim 10:
11. A heat shield assembly comprising:
a carrier including a base and a load flange that extends outwardly away from the base, and
a heat-shield tile 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,
wherein the carrier further includes an intermediate carrier slidingly engaged with the attachment feature to couple the attachment feature with the carrier and a fastener that extends through the base of the carrier and into the intermediate carrier to couple the intermediate carrier with the base, and
wherein the fastener is arranged to lie along an axis that passes through the attachment feature of the heat-shield tile.
