A Boeing 787 test flight made an emergency landing on Tuesday in Texas with smoke in the cabin, the first incident of its kind, putting additional scrutiny on the already delayed model.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing said the 787 was on final approach to Laredo airport on a routine mid-afternoon flight from Yuma, Arizona, when the crew reported smoke.

The jet landed safely and all 42 people aboard exited via emergency chutes. Emergency services responded and one person sustained a minor injury during the evacuation, Boeing said.

The plane -- marked ZA002 -- is one of six 787 test aircraft.

It is unclear what caused the smoke, Boeing said. The FAA said it would look into the matter.
