A seal segment is positioned, in use, radially adjacent the rotor. The seal segment has first and second circumferentially spaced passageways each of which extends in the fore and aft direction. In use, a first support bar is contained within the first passageway, and a second support bar is contained within the second passageway. The first and second support bars being mountable to complementary formations provided by the casing of the engine. The first passageway is configured such that the seal segment is fixed relative to the first support bar in the radial and circumferential directions. The second passageway is configured such that the seal segment is fixed relative to the second support bar in the radial direction but allows relative movement of the seal segment and the second support bar in the circumferential direction to accommodate differential thermal expansion of the seal segment and the casing. |
