    Abstract: A vane arc segment (60) includes an airfoil fairing (62) that has an airfoil wall (63) that defines a fairing platform (66) and a hollow airfoil section (64). A spar (72) has a spar platform (72a) adjacent the fairing platform (66) and a spar leg (72b) that extends from the spar platform (72a) and through the hollow airfoil section (64). The spar leg (72b) is spaced from the airfoil wall (63) in the hollow airfoil section (64) such that there is a first gap (73a). The spar platform (72a) is spaced from the fairing platform (66) such that there is a second gap (72b). A support platform (78) is secured to the spar leg (72b) such that the airfoil fairing (62) is trapped between the spar platform (72a) and the support platform (78). There is a spring seal (82) between the spar platform (72a) and the fairing platform (66). The spring seal (82) biases the airfoil fairing (62) toward the support platform (78) and seals the first gap (73a) from the second gap (73b).
