Component with feather seal slots for a gas turbine engine

A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine, the vane assembly including:

• a first vane comprising an inner diameter platform and an outer diameter platform and an airfoil that extends between the inner diameter platform and the outer diameter platform, the airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side and a suction side, the inner diameter platform has a suction side mate face and a pressure side mate face, wherein the suction side mate face and the pressure side mate face of the inner diameter platform have an axial feather seal slot and a radial seal slot, the axial feather seal slot includes a leading edge portion that extends from the radial seal slot towards a leading edge of the inner diameter platform and a trailing edge portion that extends from the radial seal slot towards a trailing edge of the inner diameter platform, and a chamfer extends between the radial seal slot and the trailing edge portion of the axial feather seal slot;
• and
• a second vane comprising an inner diameter platform and an outer diameter platform and an airfoil that extends between the inner diameter platform and the outer diameter platform, the airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side and a suction side, the inner diameter platform has a suction side mate face and a pressure side mate face, wherein the suction side mate face and the pressure side mate face of the inner diameter platform have an axial feather seal slot and a radial seal slot, the axial feather seal slot includes a leading edge portion that extends from the radial seal slot towards a leading edge of the inner diameter platform and a trailing edge portion that extends from the radial seal slot towards a trailing edge of the inner diameter platform, and a chamfer extends between the radial seal slot and the trailing edge portion of the axial feather seal slot;
• wherein when the first vane and the second vane are adjacent to each other the axial feather seal slot and the radial seal slot of the inner diameter platform of the first vane and the second vane are adjacent to each other such that a first feather seal and a second feather seal can be located in the axial feather seal slot and the radial seal slot of the inner diameter platform of the first vane and the second vane.
