Lockheed-Martin F-35 Sets Record Test Pace

While it isn't clear just how many aircraft are considered part of the Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) fleet, nearly 300 hours in a month sounds pretty impressive.  Even if there were ten planes, flying each one nearly an hour and a half every weekday is not bad.  Anyone recall how many planes are in the SDD fleet?
