A biplane quadrotor is a hybrid type of UAV that has wide applications such as payload pickup and delivery, surveillance, etc. This simulation study mainly focuses on handling the total rotor failure, and for that, we propose a control architecture that does not only handle rotor failure but is also able to navigate the biplane quadrotor to a safe place for landing. In this structure, after the detection of total rotor failure, the biplane quadrotor will imitate reallocating control signals and then perform the transition maneuver and switch to the fixed-wing mode; control signals are also reallocated. A synthetic jet actuator (SJA) is used as the redundancy that generates the desired virtual deflection to control the pitch angle, while other states are taken care of by the three rotors. The SJA has parametric nonlinearity, and to handle it, an inverse adaptive compensation scheme is applied and a closed-loop stability analysis is performed based on the Lyapunov method for the pitch subsystem. The effectiveness of the proposed control structure is validated using numerical simulation carried out in the MATLAB Simulink.
