The annular finger seal may also include a finger portion defining a finger edge of the annular finger seal and including a plurality of fingers. The finger edge may be segmented by gaps disposed between adjacent fingers of the plurality of fingers. A gas turbine engine includes a combustor section, a turbine section, and an annular finger seal. The annular finger seal includes a plurality of fingers and the annular finger seal is disposed at an adjoining interface between the combustor section and the turbine section. The annular finger seal may be mounted to the turbine section and may engage a radially inward facing surface, relative to the engine central longitudinal axis, of the combustor section.
