ABSTRACT:
A turbine rotor shroud is mounted by means for rigidly supporting it on an internal bearing for turbine and shaft components of a gas turbine engine and a low rate flexible seal member extends between the outer case of the gas turbine engine and an outer gas flow path wall for maintaining continuity of gas and air stream pass through the gas turbine engine during different modes of engine operation thereby to maintain a closely controlled clearance between blade tips of a row of turbine blades on a rotor connected to the gas turbine engine drive shaft and the rotor shroud to maintain close clearance under mechanical (static or dynamic) loads wherein the deflected rotor or engine casing systems move but the motion is accommodated by the flexible seal member and prevented by a rigid nozzle to turbine bearing support structure.
