Dassault Neuron managed 123 flights in <3 years 2013-2015 from a single aircraft. Unclear what flight duration there was. Maybe multiple hours, maybe under an hour. Definitely quite a difference to the MQ-28 fleet by a very large margin.


The two YF-22 aircraft managed 91hrs in 3 months.


Both these examples are really "demonstrators" rather than "prototypes"


For MQ-28 then I don't know whether its availability driven, or they're simply not actually trying to fly the aircraft that much. But in this case then why bother to build so many prototypes?
