Abstract
An air seal is provided which extends axially between a first side and a second side. The air seal includes an axial flange, a radial flange, a seal element, a retainer neck and a retainer head. The axial flange extends axially to the second side. The radial flange is connected to the axial flange at the second side. The radial flange projects radially outward from the axial flange to a distal end. The seal element projects radially outward from the distal end of the radial flange. The retainer neck is connected to the radial flange at the distal end of the radial flange. The retainer neck projects axially out from the radial flange towards the first side and then projects radially outward to the retainer head. The retainer head projects axially towards the first side and away from the retainer neck to an axial end of the retainer head.
