A Boeing 787 jetliner made an emergency landing after smoke was detected in the main cabin during a test flight over Texas.
A Boeing spokeswoman said Tuesday that the plane landed safely and the crew was evacuated after landing in Laredo.
Emergency personnel were called. Boeing said it was still gathering information about the incident.
Boeing has said it will deliver the first production models of the 787 to airlines next year. Development of the aircraft is running about three years behind schedule after a series of delays.
The fuselage of the 787 is made of composite material designed to produce a lighter, more fuel-efficient plane.
