Machine was derived from the construction of Tatra 87 and the Tatra 97. For propulsion of the machine was used pusher propeller complemented by aditional rotary "barrel" used for movement back and for heavy terrain. By braking the barrel, whole machine could be stopped. machine moved on two pairs of suspended wooden skis. It was steered by a pair of steering wheels - upper was used for front axle, lower wheel was used for rear axle, which make the machine very manouverable. trials were held at factory lands and later was the prototype taken for tests to Russia.
