True Blue Power and Mid-Continent Partner with WSU Tech Foundation to Equip Future Aviation Leaders

The WSU Tech Foundation is proud to announce a new multi-year partnership with Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics and True Blue Power. As part of this growing collaboration, the company has made a first-year in-kind donation of Chronos Digital Clocks and USB Chargers, True Blue Power lithium-ion aircraft batteries, and intelligent battery chargers from its True Blue Power product line to benefit students in the Aviation Maintenance Technology and Professional Pilot programs at WSU Tech.

These advanced components—known for their reliability, innovation, and industry certification—will support key elements of aviation training and offer students hands-on access to equipment widely used across general, business, and commercial aviation.

“Our commitment to our neighbors at WSU Tech reflects our belief that education and innovation are essential to the aviation industry,” said Van Winter, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics and True Blue Power. “By partnering with these outstanding aviation programs, we hope to strengthen the workforce and play a part in cultivating the next generation of aviators right here in our own community.”

Founded on more than 60 years of experience, Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics and True Blue Power are global leaders in certified electrical power systems, avionics, and lithium-ion battery technology.
