A braking device for braking a wheel of an aircraft, a hub of which is mounted rotatably on an axle includes a stack of discs threaded on a torque tube which is attached to the axle and equipped internally with a heat shield extending opposite an outer surface of the hub facing the stack of discs to protect the hub from heat radiation generated by the stack of discs. The heat shield includes a tubular body which is coaxial to the torque tube and retaining tabs which are resiliently deformable and secured to the tubular body, each of the retaining tabs and an inner surface of the torque tube including additional raised portions to engage with one another so as to axially immobilize the heat shield inside the torque tube.
