Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Airbus A380: Inside The World's Biggest Passenger Plane

Spark followed the engineering from Toulouse's assembly line to the airport turnaround, with Lufthansa's A380 operation supplying its most-watched new upload. "Airbus A380: Inside The World's Biggest Passenger Plane" passed 100,000 views, finding plenty to investigate before the aircraft even leaves the ground: joining enormous sections, balancing cargo, training pilots and getting the jet ready for its return journey from San Francisco.

This is a look back at the superjumbo's introduction, not a new aircraft launch. That distinction matters to viewers, several of whom ask how old the documentary is. Others have more practical curiosities, including how much paint it takes to cover an aircraft that size. The airport logistics are almost a second engineering project alongside the plane itself.

Space supplied much of the rest of the week's itinerary. The Voyager film revisits the twin spacecraft launched in 1977, while a mysteries collection connects Tutankhamun's meteorite-iron dagger with life's origins and antimatter. Brian Cox's BBC solar-system collection ranges from Titan's methane lakes to Enceladus's icy geysers. It currently has the strongest daily momentum among Spark's uploads, even though the A380 film has accumulated the larger audience this week.

The newest addition, "Inifinity: This Number Will Break Your Brain", trades spacecraft for thought experiments, including a full hotel that can somehow accommodate more guests. Blue Angels formation flying completes the six-upload slate, bringing the focus back to maintenance crews and precision under pressure.

Spark added subscribers over the week and stands at two million, while daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Its roughly million-view weekly gain was similar to Wonder's; RocaNews and NOVA PBS Official had larger viewing weeks among nearby documentary channels. For Spark, the freshest viewing activity stretches neatly between Cox's planetary tour, the A380's ground operations and infinity's impossible hotel.

What viewers say

I wonder how many gallons of paint it takes to cover that beast in 2 coats of paint plus livery.

I'd love to fly on that jet just once before I die.

Gorgeous aircraft, but so is the 747.
