Things to do in Wichita

Wichita earned the nickname Air Capital of the World in the 1920s, when Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech and Lloyd Stearman were all building airplanes here, and aviation still defines the city. Textron Aviation builds Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft on the east side, Spirit AeroSystems makes fuselage sections for commercial jets, and Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research supports the whole industry. Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in the country, is headquartered here too, along with healthcare systems and agricultural businesses that serve all of south-central Kansas.
