A technical plan of the B-52H Stratofortress, 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 B-52H 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 Boeing B-52H Stratofortress is the longest continuously serving aircraft in U.S. military history — first flown in 1952, still in active U.S. Air Force service today, with a service life expected to stretch into the 2050s. Only 102 H-models were built, the last of them rolled out in October 1962, and roughly 75 remain active. This blueprint captures the aircraft the way its engineers drew it: eight engines slung under a 56-metre swept wing, built to carry 70,000 pounds (31,750 kg) of ordnance across a continent and back.

At a Glance

  • ◆56-metre swept wingspan
  • ◆70,000-pound weapons payload
  • ◆In continuous service since 1952
  • ◆Only 102 H-models built
  • ◆Eight Pratt & Whitney turbofans
  • ◆Nicknamed "BUFF" by its crews

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.

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

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.

“Every rivet line and engine nacelle on this piece is a decision about what to keep and what to leave out — the robot doesn't know the difference between a line that matters and one that doesn't. I do.”

— Carlos, CodeInk.art, Québec

Open production, no duplicates

Every B-52H 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.
