Projecting segment with normals

Let's say I have a segment with two normalized vectors at its ends. I have
also a plane.

Now I do a linear interpolation of the vectors and project every point on
the segment on the plane in the direction of the interpolated vector
associated with this point.

What curve will I get? What degree would it have? Is it possible to derive
an equation of this curve?

I will appreciate any help.
