The US Army Air Force needed a long range bomber that could reach across the Pacific Ocean and hit targets in Japan. What bomber was designed to meet this requirement and would go on to be the only plane to use a nuclear weapon in a time of war?

The B-29 Superfortress was the most advanced bomber of its time. And the price tag showed it: it was more expensive to develop than the atomic bomb.
