RENAULT - Rafale Launch

Powered by a Renault engine in 1934, Helene Boucher flew a Caudron-Renault 450 Rafale, setting speed and altitude records making her the “fastest human of the world.” Her achievements not only pushed the boundaries of aviation during the Golden Era of flight, but also helped opened doors for women in aviation. Less than a year later, the world was robbed when the French aviator, all too young at 26 years old, died in a crash during a test flight in France.

It was an honor to get to touch on her story for the launching of the new Renault Rafale. She was an incredible aviator and feminist with a legacy deeply forged.

Thank you to the wonderful team who helped bring this story to the screen.
