A vane arc segment includes a platform and an airfoil section that extends in a radial direction from the platform. The airfoil section has a pressure side and a suction side. The platform defines fore and aft axial sides, a core gaspath side, a non-core gaspath side, and first and second flanges that project from the non-core gaspath side. The first and second flanges define, respectively, first and second circumferential mate faces. The first and second flanges each are formed of upturned fiber plies from the platform such that the fiber plies in the first and second flanges are radially-oriented. The first and second circumferential mate faces have, respectively, first and second seal slots that each extend in a ply through-thickness direction across two or more of the fiber plies.

Apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to sealing a dynamic gap between a moveable flap and a sidewall. The apparatus may be a seal assembly that includes a spring body, a clip coupled to a distal end of the spring body, and a wear shoe coupled to the clip. The spring body includes a flap arm adjacent the flap and a wall arm adjacent the sidewall. The flap arm and the wall arm bias away from one another when under compression in the gap. A distal end of the wall arm includes a first knuckle and a second knuckle that are pivotally coupled to the clip to create a hinge feature. The wear shoe is pivotally coupled to the clip to create another hinge feature. A distal end of the flap arm includes a skirt that is received by the clip seal an interior space of the spring body.

A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) arc segments arranged in a row. There is a leak path through which gas from the engine core gas path can bypass an axial section of the engine core gas path. A CMC strip is disposed at the inter-segment interface between CMC arc segments to block the leak path and reduce leakage of the gas.

A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine, including: a first finger seal assembly, the first finger seal assembly including two layers each being secured to each other, the two layers each having a plurality of slots that are offset from each other when the two layers of the first finger seal assembly are secured to each other; a second finger seal assembly, the second finger seal assembly including two layers each secured to each other, the two layers each having a plurality of slots that are offset from each other when the two layers of the second finger seal assembly are secured to each other; and an arc-shaped segment finger seal assembly located between the first finger seal assembly and the second finger seal assembly, the arc-shaped finger seal assembly including two layers each secured to each other, the two layers each having a plurality of slots that are offset from each other when the two layers of the arc-shaped finger seal assembly are secured to each other.

A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes first and second split-ring seals. The first split-ring seal includes circumferentially separated first and second ends, laterally separated first and second edges, a first sealing lobe adjacent the first edge, and a first integral clip portion adjacent the second edge. The first sealing lobe has a curved surface extending laterally outward from the first edge. The second split-ring seal is slidably received and nested in the first seal. The second split-ring seal includes circumferentially separated third and fourth ends and laterally separated third and fourth edges.

A discharge grille of an intermediate casing of a turbomachine includes a peripheral edge and a seal mounted on the peripheral edge via an attachment system, the seal ensuring the sealing between a first turbomachine member and a second member of the turbomachine, and surrounding the discharge grille of the intermediate casing, the seal having a U-shaped cross section and includes a base plate configured to bear against the first member, a sealing lip configured to bear against the second member through deformation of the sealing lip to ensure air tightness and fire proofing through contact.

A blade outer air seal assembly includes a support structure and a blade outer air seal having a plurality of segments extending circumferentially about an axis and mounted to the support structure. At least two segments have a base portion extending from a first circumferential side to a second circumferential side, a first protrusion extending from the first circumferential side and having a first slot, and a second protrusion extending from the second circumferential side and having a second slot. A feather seal is arranged in the first slot and the second slot between the at least two segments such that the feather seal is pivotable between first and second positions in response to relative movement between the first and second protrusions.

An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base and a spring system. The seal shoes are arranged about a centerline in an annular array. The seal shoes include a first seal shoe. The seal base circumscribes the seal shoes. The spring system connects the seal shoes to the seal base. The spring system includes a first spring element and a second spring element. The first spring element extends axially along the centerline in a first axial direction from the seal base to the first seal shoe. The second spring element extends axially along the centerline in a second axial direction from the seal base to the first seal shoe. The second axial direction is opposite the first axial direction.

A gas turbine engine includes one of a turbine section and a compressor section having multiple stages. At least one of the stages defines an outer diameter comprised of a plurality of circumferentially arranged blade outer air seals. Each blade outer air seal is spaced from each adjacent blade outer air seal in the plurality of circumferentially arranged blade outer air seals via a mateface gap. The mateface gap is oblique to a radius of the gas turbine engine, such that air entering the mateface gap is directed to an inner diameter surface of at least one of the blade outer air seals in the plurality of blade outer air seals.

An air seal assembly for a gas turbine includes a flow path platform. The air seal assembly further includes a casing disposed radially outside the flow path platform. The air seal assembly further includes an annular finger seal mounted to the casing and disposed between the flow path platform and the casing. The annular finger seal includes a first circumferential portion mounted to the casing, a second circumferential portion extending from the first circumferential portion, and a third circumferential portion extending from the second circumferential portion and contacting an outer surface of the flow path platform. The third circumferential portion includes a plurality of air cooling holes configured to direct a cooling air stream onto the flow path platform.
