A technical plan of the Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde, plotted pen to paper, line by line, on 250 g/m² paper, 11 × 17 in. A physical tip presses into the paper and lays down real ink, one pass at a time. On the back, a serial number and date, plotted in UV ink in the same pass as the drawing.

The plan of the Concorde exists as a file, everywhere. What doesn't exist everywhere is a copy someone can point to and say who drew it, where, on what day, and under what serial number.

The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was the product of a 1962 treaty between France and Britain, the only supersonic airliner to enter sustained commercial service. First flown on March 2, 1969, it carried passengers at Mach 2.04 — twice the speed of sound — cutting the New York–London crossing to under 3.5 hours. Only 20 were ever built. British Airways and Air France flew it until October 24, 2003, when rising maintenance costs and falling demand after the 2000 Paris crash and the post-9/11 downturn grounded the fleet for good. This blueprint captures its needle-thin fuselage and the double-delta wing that made supersonic flight practical.

At a Glance

  • ◆84-foot wingspan
  • ◆Cruised at Mach 2.04

Each piece is physically plotted by the studio's precision robot in Québec City, using Stabilo® Fineliners and Sakura® Gelly Roll inks on 250 gsm (120 lb) stock — stroke by stroke, never printed. A physical tip presses into the paper and lays down real ink. The result is a tactile, hand-plotted finish — never printed.

Hidden signature

The CodeInk signature glowing under UV light on the back of a plotted piece

Real footage — an early production piece, shown under blacklight.

A signature only UV light reveals

On the back of every piece, in the same pass as the drawing, we plot a signature invisible under normal light — codeink.art, the piece's name and serial number, the year, and Québec. Shine a blacklight on it and it glows.

“Concorde only worked because nobody who built it accepted "close enough" — every curve on that fuselage exists for a reason a wind tunnel proved. I don't have a wind tunnel. What I have is the discipline to trace what the engineers actually decided, not what looks fast.”

— Carlos, CodeInk.art, Québec

Open production, no duplicates

Every Concorde piece is plotted after you order it — the pen wears down differently each pass, ink density shifts, and no two lines close exactly the same way. Nothing is corrected or hidden.

PERFECTLY imperfect.
