Gas turbine engines and related systems involving blade outer air seals are provided. In this regard, a representative blade outer air seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes: an annular arrangement of outer air seal segments, each of the segments having ends, the segments being positioned in an end-to-end orientation such that each adjacent pair of the segments forms an intersegment gap therebetween, each intersegment gap being defined, at least partially, by a first recess and a first protrusion, the first protrusion being sized and shaped to be received by the first recess, one of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a first segment of an adjacent pair of the segments, another of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a second segment of the adjacent pair of the segments.

1. A blade outer air seal assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising: an annular arrangement of outer air seal segments, each of the segments having ends, the segments being positioned in an end-to-end orientation such that each adjacent pair of the segments forms an intersegment gap therebetween, each intersegment gap being defined, at least partially, by a first recess and a first protrusion, the first protrusion being sized and shaped to be received by the first recess, one of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a first segment of an adjacent pair of the segments, another of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a second segment of the adjacent pair of the segments, wherein the first recess extends along an entire width of the end on which the first recess is located, wherein the first protrusion extends along an entire width of the end on which the first protrusion is located. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer air seal segments exhibit a ship-lap configuration in which a portion of each of the segments overlies an outer diameter surface of a portion of a corresponding adjacent one of the segments. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first protrusion is a tongue and the first recess is a groove. 4. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising: a second recess and a second protrusion, one of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the end of the first segment of the adjacent pair of the segments, another of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the end of the second segment of the adjacent pair of the segments. 5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein: the first recess and the second recess are located on the end of the first segment; andthe first protrusion and the second protrusion are located on the end of the second segment. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein: the first recess is rectangular in cross section; andthe first protrusion is rectangular in cross section. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein each adjacent pair of the segments forms an intersegment gap therebetween when the assembly is heated to an operating temperature. 8. A gas turbine engine comprising: a compressor;a combustion section;a turbine operative to drive the compressor responsive to energy imparted thereto by the combustion section, the turbine having a rotatable set of blades; anda blade outer air seal assembly positioned radially outboard of the blades, the outer air seal assembly having an annular arrangement of outer air seal segments with intersegment gaps being located between the segments, each of the intersegment gaps being defined, at least partially, by a first recess and a first protrusion, the first protrusion being sized and shaped to be received by the first recess, one of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a first segment of an adjacent pair of the segments, another of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on an end of a second segment of the adjacent pair of the segments, wherein the first protrusion extends along an entire width of the end on which the first protrusion is located, wherein the first recess extends along an entire width of the end on which the first recess is located. 9. The engine of claim 8, wherein each of the intersegment gaps is additionally defined by a second recess and a second protrusion, one of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the end of the first segment of the adjacent pair of the segments, another of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the end of the second segment of the adjacent pair of the segments. 10. The engine of claim 9, wherein: the first recess and the second recess are located on the end of the first segment; andthe first protrusion and the second protrusion are located on the end of the second segment. 11. The engine of claim 8, wherein the first protrusion is a tongue and the first recess is a groove. 12. The engine of claim 11, wherein the outer air seal segments exhibit a ship-lap configuration in which a portion of each of the segments overlies an outer diameter surface of a portion of a corresponding adjacent one of the segments. 13. The engine of claim 11, wherein the engine is a turbo fan gas turbine engine. 14. The engine of claim 8, wherein the intersegment gaps are located between the outer air seal segments when the blade outer air seal assembly is heated to an operating temperature. 15. A blade outer air seal segment comprising: a blade arrival end;a blade departure end;a first recess; anda first protrusion, the first protrusion being sized and shaped to be received by the first recess;one of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on and extending across a width of the blade arrival end, another of the first recess and the first protrusion being located on and extending across a width of the blade departure end. 16. The segment of claim 15, further comprising: a second recess and a second protrusion, one of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the blade arrival end, another of the second recess and the second protrusion being located on the blade departure end, the second protrusion being sized and shaped to be received by the second recess. 17. The segment of claim 15, wherein the first protrusion is a tongue and the first recess is a groove. 18. The segment of claim 15, wherein the blade outer air seal segment is configured to engage an identical blade outer air seal segment in a ship-lap configuration. 19. The segment of claim 15, wherein the first protrusion is received by the first recess when the segment is heated to an operating temperature.
