Abstract

An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a vane assembly having an inner platform and an airfoil section extending from the inner platform. A first combustor panel extends at least partially along the vane from upstream of the vane, and a blade outer air seal extends at least partially along the vane from downstream of the vane. The first combustor panel and the blade outer air seal define a platform gap located between a leading edge of the airfoil section of the vane and a trailing edge of the airfoil section of the vane.
