Re: Another flight aborted by fumes in the cockpit.
An American Airlines plane flying from Reagan National to Dallas Ft. Worth on Wednesday afternoon (March 27) diverted to Washington Dulles due to a cabin pressure problem.
American Flight 1491, an MD-80 jet, declared an emergency shortly after takeoff.
'The American Airline pilots may have had a pressurization issue on American Airlines Flight #1491. The pilots apparently landed the plane on Runway 1C at Dulles.
The plane circled [to burn fuel] Dulles before landing at approximately 2:15 p.m. Emergency vehicles were standing by.'
An American Eagle jet flying from Miami to Cincinnati made an emergency landing at Jacksonville due to a fumes smell on board.
The small 60 to 70 seat commuter jet safely landed at Jacksonville International Airport, where emergency crews were waiting on the ground.
A spokesperson with American Airlines reported passengers on the flight reported smelling fumes similar to finger nail polish remover. The plane landed out of "an abundance of caution," the spokesperson stated.
An American Airlines jet flying from Denver to Dallas on Wednesday (May diverted to Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB) when a burning smell was detected in the cabin.
Pueblo Fire spokesperson Woody Percival said that emergency crews unloaded the passengers on the runway and towed AA Flight 880, an MD-80. to the terminal area. Percival said that he had no specifics about the cause of the burning smell.
A quick search of FAA online files tonight (May 9) found no incident report. MCDonnell-Douglas (MD) Model 80 series aircraft were first built over 20 years ago. MD design drawings and engineering data are kept now by Boeing. American Airlines keeps maintenance records for their fleet by serial number and presumably both the airline and the FAA have incident reports on file. But don't expect a report any time soon. FAA is pretty short-handed or say they are due to budget cuts and priorities under the sequester.
A United Airlines jet made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) Wednesday July 3, 2013 after the crew reported a smell of smoke on board United Airlines flight 4495 from Savannah, Georgia to Newark, New Jersey. The aircraft was 50-seat regional jet.
It was the second emergency landing at RDU Wednesday. Earlier in the day, a small corporate jet made an emergency landing when it lost power in an engine.

Martin Eberhard
Six 'Martin Eberhard' stories May 2015 - May 2019
SF Motors
Tiveni
Tesla founder launches new electric car battery startup and there's a twist
Fred Lambert May 29 2019 - 5:25 am PT
Tesla's original co-founder, Martin Eberhard, is launching yet another electric vehicle battery startup and it appears to be extremely similar to its previous startup, which was recently acquired by SF Motors to help them make their own electric cars.
InEVit
Tesla's original co-founder Martin Eberhard started a new EV startup called 'InEVit'
Fred Lambert May 10 2017 - 12:05 pm PT
We haven't really heard much about Tesla's original co-founder, Martin Eberhard, after the very public 'founders disagreement' with Elon Musk that led to his ousting from his role as CEO of the company back in 2008.
He briefly led Volkswagen's electric vehicle development in the US and later joined his former Tesla colleagues at competitor Atieva, now Lucid Motors, before leaving in 2015. We learned last year that he resurfaced as a consultant for a Chinese electric vehicle company trying to enter the US market.
Now we learn that he has his own serious effort in electric vehicles as Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of his own startup called 'InEVit. Inc'.

Marc Tarpenning
Tesla co-founder Marc Tarpenning: "Self-driving technology is clearly on the cusp of a major breakthrough"
Fred Lambert Mar 11 2016 - 3:21 pm PT
Tesla co-founder Marc Tarpenning has kept somewhat of a low-profile since leaving Tesla in 2008 after an internal power-struggle saw his co-founder Martin Eberhard ousted as CEO and Elon Musk took over. After being an important part of what arguably started the electric car rEVolution, he mostly stayed away from the EV industry until he invested, alongside Eberhard, in electric motorcycle maker Alta Motors in 2014.
Other than the Alta Motors investment, since leaving Tesla he mainly took mentor and advisory roles, which he did again this week when he confirmed having joined the advisory board of 'self-driving vehicles for industry' company: Clearpath Robotics.
Bernard Tse
The original "Tesla Energy Group" back in 2007
Fred Lambert May 16 2015 - 7:03 pm PT
A few weeks ago, Tesla Motors launched "Tesla Energy" by unveiling a new product series of home battery packs and energy storage products for commercial and utility scale use. JB Straubel, Tesla's CTO, said Tesla has been working on the project for a long time. We now learn that the project might have been longer in the making than we originally thought. We uncover a blog post by former Tesla CEO, Martin Eberhard, dating May 22nd, 2007 that was removed from Tesla's website. The post is titled "Introducing Tesla Energy Group".
Atieva
Tesla's original team, where are they now?
Out of the 5 founding members of Tesla motors, only two remain with the company; of course the now famous Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, Chairman and Product Architect, and JB Straubel, Tesla's Chief Technology Officer. But the three expatriates; Marc Tarpenning, Martin Eberhard and Ian Wright, were instrumental to the founding of Tesla and although they left the car company, some in better terms than others, it is interesting to learn about what they are doing now. Unsurprisingly, most of them are still in the EV business.
