A shield for deflecting or shielding exhaust gas streams is described. The exhaust shield may comprise a shielding layer comprised of high density carbon foam. The exhaust shield may include an exhaust shield support layer affixed to the shielding layer. In some embodiments the exhaust shield support layer comprises carbon foam. If desired the exhaust shield may be comprised of more than one layer of high density carbon foam or carbon foam. The layers of carbon foam and high density carbon foam may be arranged sequentially through the thickness of the panel. The exhaust shield may be used to protect structures from exhaust gas streams such as those from engines or motors, including jet engines or rocket motors.
