In this thesis, it is aimed to explain the effects of 9/11 international terrorist attacks on American civil aviation security in the USA and to analyze the security perception and discourse created after this date. Along with globalization, both the source of terrorism and the threat and security perception have changed. This thesis emphasizes the difference between security and safety, development of technology, the power of discourse and the media, and examines the development process of civil aviation security in the United States. The legal arrangements and the changes in the airport / flight security rules made after the September 11 attacks are explained in detail. This study, which investigates the challenges and measures taken by the US since the aviation activities started and the impacts and consequences of the September 11 attacks, is important for a clear understanding of the current civil aviation security practices in the US.

NAVAL SECURITY IN THE BLACK SEA: DYNAMICS OF CONFLICT AND COOPERATION Asar, Hatice; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2022-3-11) This study aims to analyze the dynamics of conflict and cooperation in the Black Sea region by considering the naval security in the aftermath of 9/11 terror attack. In the line with this, the concept about naval security and naval strategy, historical evolution of the region with the geopolitical importance, current conflicts, and organizations for cooperation among littoral states have been analyzed. It is argued that even though the conflict has always existed throughout the history, cooperation is ...
One and two dimensional numerical simulation of deflagration to detonation transition phenomenon in solid energetic materials Narin, Bekir; Bekir, Narin; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) In munitions technologies, hazard investigations for explosive (or more generally energetic material) including systems is a very important issue to achieve insensitivity. Determining the response of energetic materials to different types of mechanical or thermal threats has vital importance to achieve an effective and safe munitions design and since 1970’s, lots of studies have been performed in this research field to simulate the dynamic response of energetic materials under some circumstances. The testin...
A tool for designing robust autopilots for ramjet missiles Kahvecioğlu, Alper; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) The study presented in this thesis comprises the development of the longitudinal autopilot algorithm for a ramjet powered air-to-surface missile. Ramjet Missiles have short time-of-flight, however they suffer from limited angle of attack margins due to poor operational-region characteristics of the ramjet engine. Because of such limitations and presence of uncertainties involved, Robust Control Techniques are used for the controller design. Robust Control Techniques not only provide an easy limitation/uncer...
Small-size unmanned model helicopter guidance and control Karasu, Çağlar; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in military applications increased the research about them and the importance of them. The unmanned helicopters are the most agile and maneuverable vehicles among the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The ability of hovering and low speed cruise makes them even more attractive. Such abilities supply more areas to deploy the usage of the unmanned helicopters like search & rescue, mapping, surveillance. Autonomy is the key property for these vehicles. In order to...
Competing discourses of nationalisms and anti-Americanisms in Turkey: Iraq war as a case study Çoban Oran, Filiz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-12) Since the events of 9/11 in the USA, academic studies have questioned how the Islamic world perceives and imagines Americans and American foreign policy. In this context, Turkey comes into prominence among Muslim countries, with 90 percent of its population self- identifying as anti-American. This study argues that there are different versions of anti- Americanism in Turkey based on the power struggle of different discourses of Turkish nationalism. For a deeper understanding of why these anti-Americanisms e...
