If all the airplanes flown by the airlines, the military, businesses and individuals had a sticker saying where they were built, it probably would say “Made in Wichita.”

Air Capital of the World isn't just a ceremonial title for Wichita. The aviation industry employs more than 40,000 people throughout Kansas, and more than 140,000 additional jobs are supported directly or indirectly by the aviation industry.

No matter where you are in the United States or around the world, there is a good chance the airplanes you see flying overhead were made in Wichita, the home of famous aviation names such as Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft and Bombardier Learjet.
