Abstract

An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first module, a second module, and a finger seal. The second module is connected to the first module along a joint. The finger seal is connected to the first module at a fixed end and has a free end that cantilevers from the fixed end to contact the second module. The finger seal acts to seal the joint between the first module and second module from an ingestion gas flow of the gas turbine engine.
