Title: Environmental protection system

Abstract: Sheets of metal foil superalloy heat-resisting metal foil, aluminized mylar or other thermal insulators are superposed one upon the other and deployed over the surface to be protected. A "dead space" thermal insulation such as a vacuum or simply a high resistance physical separation, is provided between surfaces. Physical separation between surfaces may be effected by flaps, integral to the insulator material, which are actuated by an aerodynamic or forced airstream or by the static energy stored in uncoiled flaps. Deployment is effected, only when needed, either by automatic or manually controlled reels which dispense the insulating material.
