JetWind Power Corporation, the USA-built innovator behind the world’s first patented Energy Capturing Pods (ECPs), is gearing up for global expansion as its groundbreaking technology garners international attention. This groundbreaking technology, already in action at Dallas Love Field Airport, harnesses aircraft-generated wind to create sustainable energy—paving the way for a potential revolution in transportation infrastructure worldwide.
“The premise of this game-changing system now at work at Dallas Love Field is to capture predictable wind generated from jets and convert it into sustainable, environmentally friendly energy,” said JetWind Founder & President Dr. T.O. Souryal. “Man-made wind that would otherwise be wasted is now a useful resource, reducing stress on energy grids and paving the way for smarter, greener infrastructure worldwide. I am incredibly proud to launch this in Dallas.”
JetWind is the brainchild of Dr. Souryal, a leading orthopedic surgeon in the field of sports medicine and founder of Texas Sports Medicine in 1989. He also served as the Head Team Physician for the Dallas Mavericks for 22 seasons.
With the pioneering launch of the company’s market-ready pods at Dallas Love Field Airport, JetWind sparked interest from airports, transportation hubs, and infrastructure developers worldwide. JetWind tested three prototypes at Dallas Love Field Airport from 2021 to 2024, using turbines to harness jet exhaust on the tarmac. Following the successful test, the City of Dallas approved an agreement between Love Field Airport and JetWind that places 13 Energy Capturing Pods (ECPs) at the airport over three years. Five of the ECPs are already installed at the airport, with eight more expected over the next two years.
“Dallas Love Field has always been a cornerstone of advancement and progress for our city, and the success of JetWind’s Energy Capturing Pods underscores its role as a testing ground for pioneering advancements,” said former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert. “By transforming man-made wind into sustainable energy, this technology not only highlights Dallas as a leader in eco-conscious solutions but also demonstrates how cities can take bold steps to address global energy challenges.”
Following the public unveiling of JetWind’s testing results at Dallas Love Field Airport in 2023, the trailblazing technology captured significant international interest. Nations including Australia, Ecuador, Brazil, Switzerland, Britain and France, along with visionary initiatives like the NEOM project, have shown intrigue and excitement for its potential. JetWind is actively engaging with multiple prospective partners and is charting a strategic course to establish a robust global presence in 2025.
Dallas Love Field Airport installed two JetWind-branded charging stations powered by the ECPs, with an estimated 10,000 customer uses since their installation in November 2024. By reducing stress on the fragile Texas power grid, this pioneering technology not only reduces stress on the fragile Texas power grid but also enhances energy resilience and complements the state’s renewable energy efforts. JetWind’s technology serves as a vital complement, diversifying and strengthening the state’s sustainable energy portfolio while addressing its pressing energy challenges.
“Dallas Love Field is proud to serve as the launchpad for JetWind’s visionary Energy Capturing Pods, making us the first airport in the world to implement this transformative advancement,” said Patrick Carreno, Director of Aviation, City of Dallas. “This collaboration positions Dallas at the forefront of innovative solutions that have a meaningful impact on energy conservation. By turning aircraft-generated wind into a sustainable resource, we are demonstrating how aviation infrastructure can play a pivotal role in reducing stress on the power grid and paving the way for a greener future.”
JetWind manufactured its first batch of market-ready pods at RTT Manufacture in Rockwall, TX August 2024. The patented, USA-manufactured technology offers a reliable and sustainable energy solution adaptable to numerous transportation sectors. Future applications could include heliports, train systems, and roadways, serving both civilian infrastructure and military operations.
