The axial flow turbine includes a number of internally air cooled turbine blades each having a tip section mounted adjacent the shroud and defining with it a gap that is susceptible of leaking engine working medium. Each internally cooled blade has an airfoil surface exposed to the engine working medium defining a pressure surface and a suction surface. A device minimises the leakage by providing ...
