As far as released info goes, MHI engine was classed as the top level in terms of attained temperature in 2011 by themselves and many others at the time. Since then information has been released about higher turbine temperatures which I have acknowledged.Nope mitsubishi engine aren't the top of line .
And issues in delivery timeline are not related to engine quality , don't just type anything for sake of reply .
And ds blades can be good for a certain level of scb but they have tgeir limitations , in scb limitations are present too but at higher temperatures .
And f110 is a older design , non stealth engine , good for thrust but not for stealth
If the engine is not capable of sustaining the lifecycle expected from it with confidence, that engine is not ready. We have the examples of Trent-1000 and F135. It is not an issue of delivery time. RR themselves have said it that due to technical problems and slow production rate of these special blades they have a problem of supply. Not just for new engines but new blades for the faulty engines. All 50 BA and 24 Nippon dreamliners have now been grounded.

The company faces 1.6 billion pounds ($2 billion) in extra costs and disruption as a result of the engine problem, which is due to the poor durability of components, and the latest delay spells further frustration for its customers and investors.
Unquote.
A total of 46 F35s are on the ground due to engine problems in the US. More than 15% of the current fleet have engine failures.
Rolls-Royce hit by further setback to fixing Boeing 787 engines
Rolls-Royce <RR.L> will take longer than expected to fix problems with its Trent 1000 engine, frustrating efforts to get Boeing <BA.N> 787s grounded by the glitch flying again and knocking the British company's shares.

Fifteen Percent Of U.S. Air Force F-35s Don’t Have Working Engines
Marine Corps, Navy, and foreign F-35s are also being impacted by ongoing problems with the jets’ engines.

F110 is a tested and reliable engine, albeit old school. The 132 version is the one that the Turkish engine company is working on. After the prototypes TFX will fly with these. Initial few squadrons of planes will be 4++ generation with limited stealth characteristics. At a later stage more powerful and developed engines will be used as indigenous engine technology of TEI improves which will be more akin to stealthy operations. This won’t happen until well in to 2030’s. That is the defined timeline of the project.
We are walking before we start running.
