Abstract Payload delivery is one of the many Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications that save time, energy, and human resources. The present simulation study compares rotary‐wing quadrotors (RW‐Quadrotors) tail‐sitter biplane (Bi‐Quadrotors) under payload conditions help to choose best UAV for particular mission. A comparative performed based on (i) time taken accomplish given mission, (ii) trajectory tracking performance, (iii) motor speed throughout entire flight envelope, (iv) remains SoC (State Charge) after Furthermore, a Backstepping Controller (BSC) an Adaptive (ABSC) are developed both UAVs handle mass changes during while Genetic Algorithm (GA) used gain optimization. MATLAB Simulink‐based numerical reveals Bi‐Quadrotor has lower average rotor than RW‐Quadrotor. However, Bi‐Quadrotor's mission higher RW‐Quadrotor, it took less ABSC designed RW‐Quadrotor effectively handles change BSC controller increases energy consumption in presence wind gusts.
