A technical plan of the Boeing 747-400, 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 747-400 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.
Boeing introduced the 747-400 in 1988 as the definitive evolution of the original jumbo jet, first flying on April 29 of that year and entering service with Northwest Airlines in February 1989. The most visible change from earlier 747s was a pair of 6-foot winglets angled up from each wingtip, cutting drag on long routes. Inside, a two-person glass cockpit with CRT displays replaced the flight engineer's station that every 747 before it had carried. Four engines — Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, or Rolls-Royce options, each in the 265–282 kN thrust range — could carry up to 660 passengers as far as 13,450 km without refueling. In 1989 a Qantas 747-400 flew nonstop from London to Sydney, 18,001 km, setting a distance record for a commercial airliner that still stands. Boeing built 694 of them before production ended in 2009, and this blueprint captures the exact three-view layout — the long fuselage, swept wing, and unmistakable upper-deck hump — that made the -400 the most-produced version of the entire 747 family.

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.

Included
Production timelapse included — every order · no extra cost
Watch your piece being plotted, line by line, by the studio's robot. A personal timelapse of your production is sent with every order — to share, or to keep as a record of how your piece came to be.
Hidden signature
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.
“Four engines, two decks, and a three-view layout meant fitting the top, side, and front elevations onto one sheet without any of them shrinking past readability. The winglets were the one detail I wasn't willing to simplify — they're the single feature that tells a -400 apart from every 747 that came before it.”
Open production, no duplicates
Every 747-400 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.
