Sufficient conditions for complete controllability of systems that are bilinear in state and control are established by geometrical arguments. It is seen that bilinear systems generally are more controllable than systems that are jointly linear in control and state. Bilinear control frequently occurs quite naturally, but in other cases it can be implemented to improve controllability of a linear system by varying lant parameters.
