Abstract
A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a support mountable to an engine static structure. The support has a main body extending axially between leading and trailing edge portions and circumferentially between opposed mate faces, and the main body includes a pair of opposed retention hooks extending inwardly from the leading and trailing edge portions to bound an elongated groove extending circumferentially between the opposed mate faces. A seal has a sealing portion that extends from an engagement portion. The sealing portion has a sealing face that extends circumferentially between first and second mate faces. An overwrap has one or more plies that follow a perimeter of the engagement portion to define an interface between the retention hooks and the engagement portion.
