Examples

• The controllability of the aircraft depends on proper maintenance of its control surfaces.
• Engineers tested the controllability of the new drone in various weather conditions.
• The software's controllability makes it easy for users to adjust settings.
• Improving controllability of the robot required redesigning its feedback system.
• The controllability of inflation is a major concern for central banks.
• Vehicle controllability decreases significantly on icy roads.
