A gas turbine engine may include a rotor overspeed protection (ROP) assembly. The ROP assembly may include an annular blade outer air seal (BOAS) assembly including a ROP segment. The ROP assembly may include a stator vane coupled with the BOAS assembly/. The stator vane may include a stator flange disposed about a forward edge portion of the stator vane. The ROP segment may include a ROP flange extending in an axially aft direction from a main body of the ROP segment toward the stator vane, wherein the ROP flange is disposed radially inward of the stator flange.
