==History==
Born on 16 November 1920 in Brunoy, near Paris, Jean Boulet was first hired in 1947 by the SNCASE, which would become Sud Aviation and then later the Division Hélicoptères of the Société Nationale Industrielle Aérospatiale. Having been trained in the USA earlier in his life to become a military pilot with the French Air Force, he was one of the first foreign pilots to fly a helicopter in the United States Air Force. Over the years he would fast become one of the greatest pioneers in the history of rotorcraft flight testing.
Boulet has set several rotorcraft records〔"(FAI Record ID #749 - Time to climb to a height of 9 000 m. Class E-1b (Helicopters: take off weight 500 to 1000 kg) )" ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).'' Retrieved: 21 September 2014.〕〔("History of Rotorcraft World Records, Sub-class:E-1 (Helicopters), Category:General, Group 2:turbine" ). ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI)''. Retrieved 3 November 2010.〕 for distance,〔"(FAI Record ID #977 - Distance over a closed circuit without landing. Class E-1 (Helicopters), piston )" (FAI Record ID #982 - subclass ) ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).'' Retrieved: 21 September 2014.〕 altitude〔"(FAI Record ID #9876 - Altitude without payload. Class E-1 (Helicopters), turbine )" ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).'' Retrieved: 21 September 2014.〕〔"(FAI Record ID #9874 - Altitude without payload. Class E-1 (Helicopters), turbine )" ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).''

Class E-1c (Helicopters: take off weight 1000 to 1750 kg), piston )" ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).'' Retrieved: 21 September 2014.〕
On the 21st of June, 1972 Boulet set a world record for the highest altitude reached by a helicopter, when he piloted an Aérospatiale SA 315B Lama to an altitude of 40,820 feet (12,442 meters), still valid as of 2015.〔"(FAI Record ID #754 - Altitude without payload. Class E-1 (Helicopters), turbine )" (FAI Record ID #753 - subclass ) ''Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).'' Retrieved: 21 September 2014.〕 When he reduced power and began to descend, because of the extreme cold, the engine flamed out, and Boulet performed the highest ever, power off, full touch down autorotation, landing with absolutely no power. This high altitude autorotation also set a new world record.〔
