It's the location of Atlas' Dragon Works (the aircraft R&D division) where they assemble aircraft like the F/A-71 Wildcat II and VF-1 Valkyrie, it's one of Lockheed Martin's assembly plants of the JLTV, the assembly location for the US' MA37s, Boeing's one of two F/A-18 production locations in the Midwest (the other's in St. Louis), provide engines for the M2 Eisenhower, pretty much every major US defense contractor has a facility in Chicago. Plus, after DC was nuked in WWIII, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman had to move their HQs to Milwaukee (Lockheed) and Indianapolis (Northrop) since their old ones were near the blast zone, and later moved to the Joliet, Illinois in June 2015.
