A blade outer air seal assembly, comprising: a circumferentially oriented blade outer air seal section having a first end and a second end, the blade outer air seal section being carried by a pair of block mounts having ramped surfaces upon which the blade outer air seal section is supported; a first block mount having a first ramped surface disposed adjacent the blade outer air seal section first end; and a second block mount having a second ramped surface disposed adjacent the blade outer air seal section second end; characterized in that the assembly further comprises: a first seal disposed between the first ramped surface of the first block mount and the blade outer air seal section first end, wherein interaction with the first seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from a nominal position; a first spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section first end and the first block mount, wherein the first spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position; a second seal disposed between the second ramped surface of the second block mount and the blade outer air seal section second end, wherein interaction with the second seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from the nominal position; and a second spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section second end and the second block mount, wherein the second spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position. a circumferentially oriented blade outer air seal section having a first end and a second end, the blade outer air seal section being carried by a pair of block mounts having ramped surfaces upon which the blade outer air seal section is supported; a first block mount having a first ramped surface disposed adjacent the blade outer air seal section first end; and a second block mount having a second ramped surface disposed adjacent the blade outer air seal section second end; characterized in that the assembly further comprises: a first seal disposed between the first ramped surface of the first block mount and the blade outer air seal section first end, wherein interaction with the first seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from a nominal position; a first spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section first end and the first block mount, wherein the first spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position; a second seal disposed between the second ramped surface of the second block mount and the blade outer air seal section second end, wherein interaction with the second seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from the nominal position; and a second spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section second end and the second block mount, wherein the second spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position. a first seal disposed between the first ramped surface of the first block mount and the blade outer air seal section first end, wherein interaction with the first seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from a nominal position; a first spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section first end and the first block mount, wherein the first spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position; a second seal disposed between the second ramped surface of the second block mount and the blade outer air seal section second end, wherein interaction with the second seal only limits movement of the blade outer air seal section and does not provide a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section after it has moved away from the nominal position; and a second spring element disposed between the blade outer air seal section second end and the second block mount, wherein the second spring element provides a re-centering force to the blade outer air seal section when compressed, after it has moved away from the nominal position.
