VT ARCHITECTURE v3.0 AIRChain Humanitarian Cargo Platform

Build where nothing exists.” 01 — ABSTRACT VT Architecture v3.0 is an open-source modular terrain mobility platform designed to achieve extremely high payload efficiency in environments where conventional vehicles cannot operate. Developed by Kaveh Dimitri Salahi as a humanitarian engineering system, it is intended for fabrication using basic tools, locally available materials, and minimal infrastructure.

The system is built around three core mechanical subsystems that function as a unified platform: The AIRChain Propulsion Track is a continuous loop track composed of independently air-filled flexible cylinders connected by a structural chain backbone. Each cylinder adapts to terrain irregularities, distributes load across a wide surface, and compresses into a sealed interface against an internal guide rail under load. The Single Wide-Roller Front Steering Unit is a large pneumatic cylinder mounted on a simple fork system, providing flotation, shock absorption, and direct mechanical steering without electronics or hydraulics.
