    摘要: A turbine nozzle for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of nozzle segments that are configured to be assembled into a full ring such that each one of the plurality of nozzle segments is adjacent to another one of the plurality of nozzle segments. Each one of the plurality of nozzle segments includes an endwall segment and a nozzle vane. The turbine nozzle includes a feather seal interface defined by endwall segments of adjacent ones of the plurality of nozzle segments. The feather seal interface is defined along an area of reduced pressure drop through a pressure field defined between adjacent nozzle vanes of the plurality of nozzle segments to reduce leakage through the plurality of nozzle segments. The turbine nozzle includes a feather seal received within the feather seal interface that cooperates with the feather seal interface to reduce leakage through the plurality of nozzle segments.
