Abstract
A seal for a gas turbine engine is shown. The engine may have a first vane for imparting a first twist to air passing thereby and/or a second vane for imparting a second, different twist to air passing thereby, each of the first and second vanes having a mounting area for mounting the seal thereto. The seal includes a top, a bottom, a left side, a right side a back, and a front. The back is parallel to the front and the left side is parallel to the right side such that a non-square shape is formed by the intersection of the back, the left side, the front and the right side so that the seal may mate with the mounting area of the first vane and, if the seal is inverted, may mate with the mounting area of the second vane.
