Abstract
An improved honeycomb seal is provided for turbine engines. The subject honeycomb structure comprises a plurality of identical rings. Each ring has a plurality of radially extending convolutions defining alternating ridges and valleys. The rings are fixedly arranged in abutting relationship to define a tubular honeycomb structure having an array of radially extending honeycomb cells. The resultant honeycomb structure is adaptable to both large and small diameter turbine engines. Furthermore, the individual cells of the honeycomb structure can be constructed to any width or depth.
