Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a flexible seal for use in a turbine engine and to a respective system and method. The system includes a first turbine segment (32) comprising a first blade (40) coupled to a first shank (36). The system also includes a second turbine segment (32) including a second blade (40) coupled to a second shank (36), as well as an elongated flexible seal (46,60,64,68,80,96) disposed in a gap (42) between the first and second shanks. The elongated flexible seal includes an opening (49) configured to channel a fluid flow into a hollow region of the elongated flexible seal to induce expansion of the elongated flexible seal in the gap.
