    Abstract: A turbine vane assembly includes a plurality of turbine vanes, an outer vane support, and an inner vane support. The turbine vanes are adapted to interact with gases flowing through a gas path of the gas turbine engine. The outer vane support is arranged radially outward of the turbine vane and configured to receive aerodynamic loads from the turbine vanes. The inner vane support is arranged radially inward from the outer vane support to locate the turbine vane assembly therebetween.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a shroud ring, a vane ring, and a secondary flow assembly. The shroud ring extends around an associated turbine wheel and includes a carrier segment and a blade track segment comprising ceramic matrix composite materials. The blade track segment and the carrier segment defining a shroud cavity radially therebetween. The vane ring includes a heat shield comprising ceramic matrix composite materials that forms an outer platform, an inner platform, and an airfoil defining a heat shield cavity radially through the heat shield. The secondary flow assembly includes a recirculating flow circuit having a discharge tube and a vane pressurizing tube; and the secondary flow assembly is configured to cool the blade track segment. The flow circuit is further configured to pressurize the heat shield cavity thereby providing a seal against the gases from the primary gas path entering the heat shield cavity.
