                The Air Ship "ACT-G"
                  Movie-1(1.9M)
                  Movie-2(1.9M)


The mechanized airship " THE ACT-G " took three years to complete. Now, "THE ACT-G" welcomes visitors at the entrance of the Misawa Aviation Science Museum .

The ACT-G is very large, as it has a height of 4m, a length of 4.5m, a width of 2m, and a weight of 300kg,


  

 

  

A miniature world lives inside the massive ACT-G.  One person cuts a tree, and another person looks through a telescope in order to fly safely.  There is even a place for the people to eat meals and talk together after finishing work.
Furthermore, inside the airship, animals are also living together.  All crew pull together and are moving this Air-Ship. 

A special engine, which is the double helix-shaped structure, is located at the center of the ACT-G.  It is activated by the propellers and 12 feathers.

Here, I want to add explanation about a “double helix”.The idea of the double helix came from DNA which is very important to human being.  The gene in the cell of every human is formed by the “double helix”.  The double helix consists of the four bases, A(adenine), C(cytosine), T(thymine), and G(guanine).  The information with gene is inherited from past to present by this “A-C-T--G”.  I wish you to know that the four characters “A-C-T-G” have an important meaning.

When you come to this airship, please pay special attention not only to the gear motion but to every crew and animal. In looking at the ACT-G, remember that this is the ideal world to live in: animals and people living in harmony.  Please put your feelings into motion to change the world around you.
