15th century was a prolific time for scientific progress in the area as Turkic scholars from all around studied together going back and forth between Turkic states and their scientific centers.
Here are three of the valuable Turkish scientists:
1- Uluğ Bey
This structure you see here is Uluğ Bey Observatory which was built in Timurid Era Samarkand (Uzbekistan):
Uluğ Bey was Timur’s grandson and he was the 4th Sultan of the Timurid Empire as well as being a mathematician and an astronomer.
Uluğ Bey, as his name suggests, is the one who established Uluğ Bey Observatory. After 12 years of extensive studies in his observatory, he compiled his findings in 2 books named Zeyç Kürkani and Zeyç Cedit Sultani both of which later translated into almost all European and several Eastern languages and made great contributions to the field.
During these laborious studies Uluğ Bey worked with a colleague from the Ottoman Empire.
2- Kadızade-i Rumi from Bursa City:
Kadızade-i Rumi as a well-educated mathematician and astronomer, tutored Uluğ Bey, managed the observatory during that time but sadly, he died in Samarkand, a little while before their 12 year of observatory study came to its conclusion. He notably took the field of mathematics one step further by expanding and simplifying the algebra method developed by Gıyaseddin Cemşid for calculating the sine of a degree arc. Kadızade-i Rumi wrote countless books in his lifetime and trained many disciples.
3- Ali Kuşçu:
Ali Kuşçu was born in Samarkand(Uzbekistan) and died in İstanbul(Türkiye). He was a hezarfen(a person who is an expert on multiple fields) and also a part of the observatory team. He took over the management of the observatory after Kadızade’s demise. He is best known for delivering the first astronomical map of the Moon. He even went to China to carry out his studies and on his return, he calculated the Earth’s surface area and the ecliptic as 24 degrees. He later worked for Akkoyunlu Turcoman state as an advisor and finally the Ottoman Empire as a lecturer. He was appointed as a lecturer at Sahn-ı Seman Madrasa upon Fatih Sultan Mehmed’s request.
A celestial map drawn by Ali Kuşçu:
It’s known that the celestial maps drawn by Ali Kuşçu helped Christopher Columbus in the discovery of the American continent.
Ali Kuşçu’s grandchildren now live in Bursa, Düzce, Kahramanmaraş cities of Türkiye bearing the honorable surname Kuşçuoğlu.
According to the QS World University Rankings (QS WUR) 2025 results, ITU rose 78 places and ranked 326th this year, achieving its best ranking to date. ITU, which ranks 1st in Türkiye in the “International Research Network” and “Sustainability” indicators, was also awarded the QS “Most Improved-Europe” Award for its outstanding achievements in the last 5 years.
ITU also ranked 112th among the 1503 universities listed in the “employer reputation” indicator, once again demonstrating the strong bond of its graduates and members with the industry. This achievement, which refers to ITU’s global recognition, was also in line with the theme of our university, which declared 2024 as the “Year of Global Impact”.
On the 21st of February 2024, a new 5th-gen fighter took to the skies. The Turkish Aerospace Industries TF Kaan is Turkey’s first domestically built modern fighter, and as we shall see, it marks the beginning of an ambitious program to refit Turkey’s military with nationally produced equipment. So, what is the TF Kaan, and what is it likely to be capable of?

The majority of medical terms are Turkish rooted for two reasons:
1- Turkish or proto-Turkish is the founding language of Western languages. I tried to provethis in my previous articles here.
2- Turkic peoples and the first physicians among them contributed greatly to the establishment of the medical discipline and the development of medicine.
The Turkish roots of many of the basic medical terms originate from this practice and information. Here I am explaining the Turkish roots of about 679 medical terms. This includes words related to human organs and health.
Kaan Arslanoğlu
Turkey’s developed 5th generation fighter aircraft, KAAN, took off from the runway, meeting the sky as it lifted its wheels off the ground. The flight, which held the breath of all Turkey, also made a great impact worldwide. Taking its first flight on February 21, 2024, at 08:50, KAAN remained airborne for 13 minutes, reaching an altitude of 8000 feet and a speed of 230 knots.
KAAN provides superior air dominance with its High Performance and Integrated Avionics System, which includes Extended Air-to-Air Combat Range with New Weapons, Precision and Full Hit from Internal Weapon Bays at High/Supersonic Speeds, Artificial Intelligence, and Heterogeneous Computing support.
During KAAN’s first flight, the Central Management Computer developed by TÜBİTAK, Avionics Interface Units, Deterministic Network, Multi-Core Real-Time Operating System, and Middleware Software were used.
The main control computers were designed and manufactured by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM.
The computer system, referred to as KAAN’s brain, was successfully developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM and delivered to TUSAŞ ahead of the planned date in 2022.
The avionics computer system has safety-critical and high-performance processor modules with deterministic and high-speed communication infrastructures. This computer performs data processing and management functions for Mission (Communication, Navigation, AESA Radar, Electronic Warfare, Electro-Optical Targeting and Weapon) Systems along with critical aircraft management functions such as engine system management, flight system management, etc. The mission computers reduce the pilot’s workload and also generate displays for the instruments and helmet-mounted display.
The Multi-Core National Real-Time Operating System was developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM.
The Real-Time Operating System (GzIS), developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, was made multi-core to meet KAAN’s high computing needs and was used on the Main Management Computers during KAAN’s first flight.
When the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft KAAN project is completed, it will become unique with TÜBİTAK’s critical technologies.
