Updated with information sent by 787 spokesperson Lori Gunter today afternoon.

Boeing, which has been selling planes like hot cakes in India this past week, ran into a problem during its second 787 flight test Tuesday, resulting in an emergency evacuation which injured one crew member.

Boeing announced Wednesday that it has decided to postpone other 787 test flights until it better understands what caused the incident.

Boeing 787 spokesperson Lori Gunter told The Stranger via email that ZA002 departed from Yuma, Ariz., for Laredo, Texas, when it experienced smoke in the main cabin. Gunter said that the aircraft lost primary electrical power as a result of an on board electrical fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Forty-two crew members were on board the airplane for the flight test program. The crew was conducting a test to monitor the efficiency of the Nitrogen Generation System. Gunter said that there was no reason to suspect that this had caused the fire.

"We have retrieved flight data from the airplane and are analyzing it in Seattle," Gunter said. "This process will take several days. We are committed to finding the cause quickly but will not rush the technical team in its efforts."

Contrary to some reports, the pilot did not lose primary flight displays, Gunter said. She said that backup systems, including the deployment of Ram Air Turbine (RAT), allowed the crew to make a safe landing.

The crew was able to safely evacuate people from the airplane with the help of emergency personnel. One crew member suffered a minor injury during the evacuation but has since cleared medical approval and left medical facilities.

The 787's launch has been hampered by several glitches in the past, including those arising from ill-fitting parts. "We cannot determine the impact of this event on the overall program schedule until we have worked our way through the data," Gunter said. "Teams have been working through the night and will continue to work until analysis is complete and a path forward is determined."
