DRIVE
July 16, 2025
A seal assembly (60) includes first, second, and third gas turbine engine components (62), such as vane assemblies (62), that are successively arranged around an axis. Each component (62) has first and second mate faces (66d) such that the first mate face (66d) of the first component (62) 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 (76) 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.
