Abstract
A turbine section has a turbine rotor carrying turbine blades. The turbine blades include seal members at a radially inner location. A vane section is formed of a plurality of circumferentially spaced vane components, each of which has an airfoil extending radially outwardly of a platform. A first seal member is fixed to the platform, and is positioned to be adjacent a seal from a blade which is positioned in one axial direction relative to the first seal member. A second seal member extends circumferentially beyond at least a plurality of the vane components and is positioned to be adjacent a seal member of a blade on an opposed axial side from the first blade. A vane component is also disclosed and claimed.
