Zusammenfassung:This disclosure provides systems and methods for sealing flow path components, such as turbomachine airfoils 100, with a front-leaded seal. A seal channel 170 is defined between a portion of the suction side surface 118 of a first flow path component and a portion of the pressure side 116 of a second flow path component. A seal is retained within the seal channel formed by the pressure side portion and the suction side portion and the seal channel defines a forward opening 152 through which the seal is inserted during installation.
