A double flow turbojet including: a low pressure compressor; a series of casings downstream of this low pressure compressor to delimit a primary flow path for circulating a primary stream, and including an upstream edge delimiting an inlet opening; a high pressure compressor in the primary flow path; a shroud surrounding the series of casings to delimit a flow path for circulating an intermediate stream, and having an upstream edge delimiting a circular inlet opening situated upstream of the high pressure compressor; a secondary flow path casing surrounding the shroud to delimit a secondary flow path for circulating a secondary stream; an exhaust casing including radial arms collecting the air coming from the intermediate flow path.

An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.

A sealing apparatus for a turbomachine, including a stator vane component, which includes an inner shroud element and a flow-directing element connected to the inner shroud element.

The seal-carrier ring element includes at least one ring body element and at least one projection, which is connected in one piece to the at least one ring body element, protrudes from the at least one ring body element in the radial direction of the sealing apparatus, and is inserted into at least one opening, which extends through the inner shroud element. Other aspects relate to a seal-carrier ring element for a sealing apparatus, and to a turbomachine which includes at least one sealing apparatus and/or at least one seal-carrier ring element.

A seal assembly includes first, second, and third gas turbine engine components, such as vane assemblies, that are successively arranged around an axis. Each component has first and second mate faces such that the first mate face of the first component and the second mate face of the second component define a first mate face gap, and the first mate face of the second component and the second mate face of the third component to define a second mate face gap. A seal arc segment has first and second seal portions and a connector portion that joins the seal portions. The first seal portion bridges the first mate face gap to seal the first mate face gap, the second seal portion bridges the second mate face gap to seal the second mate face gap, and the connector portion spans circumferentially across the second component.

A vane assembly includes an airfoil extending from a platform. The platform has a flange that extends radially outward and circumferentially across the platform. A vane cover is arranged adjacent the platform that defines an impingement gap between the platform and the vane cover. The vane cover has a wall that defines a slot. The flange is arranged at least partially within the slot.

An airfoil assembly includes an airfoil fairing, a spar, a seal plate, and a seal. The airfoil fairing has a fairing platform and a hollow airfoil section that extends from the fairing platform. The spar has a spar leg that extends in the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg defines a spar leg periphery. The seal plate is secured with the fairing platform. The seal plate has an opening, and the opening has an opening periphery that is complementary to the spar leg periphery. The spar leg extends through the opening. The seal is between the seal plate and the spar leg. The seal seals around the spar leg periphery.
