  • Patent number: 11203981
    Abstract: Airfoils for gas turbine engines are described. The airfoils include an airfoil body having a pressure and suction side walls and an internal rib and defining a cavity between, at least, the pressure side wall, the suction side wall, and the internal rib. A baffle insert is arranged within the cavity and includes a sealing portion arranged adjacent to the internal rib of the airfoil body with a gap therebetween. A seal element is arranged within the cavity and located in the gap. The seal element is free to move relative to each of the baffle insert and the airfoil body within the gap. When a pressure differential exists across the seal element, the seal element will sealingly engage between sealing portion of the baffle insert and the internal rib of the airfoil body to block a flow through the gap.
