▶ In this video I talk about the top exported good in each US state. From Texas' Oil to California's Vehicles. Going through unique exports such as Nevada's Gold or New York's Diamonds, even Maine's Lobster. Also focusing on the key industry that Airplane Components seems to now be for so many American States. Not failing to mention the regional trends of Medicine Products in the Midwest, or Agriculture and Mining in the Western United States.

I think one of the main reasons aircraft parts are so common is that it includes military aircraft. Arms manufacturers have this system where they spread out production over as many states as possible so they can better influence politicians with the threat of jobs leaving the state if the government doesn’t buy the aircraft or approve it for sale abroad.

I suspect some of your sources may be using different definitions of "exports" and "biggest", which would explain the discrepancies. For example, if a state assembles aircraft but most of the parts and materials are made elsewhere, are they assigning the full value of the planes to that state; even if they employed few people or made little profit?

Probably one of the main reasons why the state of Kansas main export is aircraft is because the city of Wichita is home to something like 2 dozen aircraft manufacturers of various sizes. - think the Kansas City, KS, is area is 2nd in aircraft production as well 9could be wrong). Also, Wichita was a key aircraft producer during WWII - the Boeing B-29 was produced in Wichita. Beechcraft is a popular manufacturer in the city as well.

My initial thought is that this would be a video of state exports to other states. I was surprised (in a good way) that it was state exports to other countries. That may sound Americentric, but I was thinking more geographic levels. That makes me wonder, how would those two compare? It wouldn't surprise me if Illinois country exports and state exports were both pharmaceuticals. I suspect New Hampshire's state exports would be those medical materials that were in second place to the country exports of aircraft.

This is so misleading. I live in Maryland. The top three exports they list for Maryland are not produced in Maryland. They are just shipped out of Maryland because they are loaded onto a ship in the port of Baltimore (at least up until the port was closed because it was blocked by a collapsed bridge). Normally when you talk about what a state exports, you are talking about something produced in the state and then shipped out of the state, not only to other countries but also to other states.
