Travel
to Ohio
Ohio's geographic location has proved to be an asset
for economic growth and expansion. Because Ohio straddles the Northeast to the
east, and the Midwest to the west, much cargo and business traffic passes
through its borders on its well-developed highways. Ohio has the nation's 10th
largest highway network, and is within a one-day drive of 50% of North
America's population and 70% of North America's manufacturing
capacity.
Ohio is the site of the invention of the airplane, resulting
from the experiments of the Wright brothers in Dayton. Production of aircraft
in the USA is now centered elsewhere, but a large experimental and design
facility, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has been located near
Dayton
and serves in the co-ordination of production of US military aircraft. |
