Project: Whisper was an experimental top secret research and development helicopter project designed by the Nazis in the games Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Following the end of the Second World War, advances by the Nazi aviation industry allowed for the development of Vertical, Takeoff and Landing Aircraft. In the 1960s, the Luftwaffe, in conjunction with the Nazi Advanced Sciences Division developed three experimental helicopters designed to be quiet in flight and virtually undetectable by means of radar. The initial three prototypes were delivered to the London Nautica for further development and trials. Initially designed for Nazi Special Operations units, the Project: Whisper helicopters were uniquely designed for multiple roles. Amongst its roles included the ability to rapidly insert troops into combat, and ferrying large stockpiles of weapons and ammunition for active combat. The Whisper helicopters were moderately armed with three MG-60s, two guns were mounted for door gunners, and the third was utilised as a nose-mounted chaingun.

In 1961, following a covert raid by members of the Kreisau Circle, the three prototype helicopters were seized from the London Nautica. The captured Whisper helicopters were subsequently utilised by the Kreisau Circle in several major operations against Nazi forces in Europe, including the raiding and seizure of the submarine aircraft carrier Eva's Hammer and the destruction of the Gibraltar Bridge. However, following the successful infiltration of the Nazi's Moon Base One, the Kreisau Circle's headquarters underneath the Monuments of Truth was discovered by Nazi forces. In the subsequent skirmish, one of the Whisper helicopters was recaptured by Nazi forces, although the remaining two helicopters were narrowly recovered by Kreisau Circle forces. In the aftermath of the destruction of their headquarters, the remaining Whisper helicopters were re-stationed onboard the captured Eva's Hammer. During the Kreisau Circle's assault on Deathshead's Compound, at least one Whisper helicopter participated in the evacuation of the compound's prisoners.

Following the destruction of Deathshead's Compound, the Whisper helicopters continued service with the Kreisau Circle. During the Kreisau Circle's journey through the Atlantic Ocean to the United States, Max Hass was granted permission to redesign the Whisper helicopters. In late-1961, a Whisper helicopter was used to evacuate surviving elements of the Black Revolutionary Front from the Empire State Building. Throughout the Kreisau Circle's campaign in the United States, the Whisper helicopters played a major role in ferrying resistance members throughout the country. During the final operation in the United States, a Whisper helicopter was vital in allowing Kreisau Circle forces to infiltrate and disable the Nazi-controlled Ausmerzer.

After the liberation of the United States, the existing helicopter design was reverse-engineered, refined, and mass-produced to an unknown extent by the re-established American government. At least two of these vehicles were in use by the FBI as of the 1980s.
