    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a primary flow path (206) fluidly connecting a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. A cooling air flowpath (202) is positioned radially outward of the primary flowpath (206). A first seal (210) spans from an inner diameter (203) of the cooling air flowpath (202) to an outer diameter of the cooling air flowpath (202). The first seal (210) includes at least one axial convolution (212) and a plurality of pass through features (240,242,244,246,248). A second seal (220) and the first seal (210) are configured to direct a portion of an airflow through the first seal (210) into a cooling air passage (226) and to direct another portion of the airflow radially inward of the cooling air passage (226).
