The bypass dual throat nozzle (BDTN) does not consume any secondary injection from the other part of the engine, while it can produce steady and efficient vectoring deflection similar to the conventional dual throat nozzle (DTN). A BDTN model has been designed and subjected to dynamic experimental study. The main results show that: (1) The frequency spectrums of the dynamic pressures are different between each thrust vector state. (2) The variation rates of dynamic vector of the new BDTN can reach as high as 50 deg/s, 40 deg/s, and 34 deg/s under nozzle pressure ratio NPR = 3, 5, and 10, separately. (3)The dynamic hysteresis time is less than 1 ms.
