For example if you want your airplane to follow a certain path, you would have to control several parameters (roll, pitch, etc.) in order to go from point A to point B (number of variables depends on the constraints you impose on the system, for example you may want the speed to be constant also). Thus the variable of interest would be the roll, pitch etc. (you would have more than one variable for an airplane as it is not a very simple system). | |
