            Abstract : 
The paper is focused on the controllability property of a rotating rigid body endowed with a number of the Euler-Bernoulli beams. A nonlinear mathematical model of the system considered is obtained within the framework of Lagrangian formalism. It is pointed out that a finite-dimensional approximation of the system is not flat. The linearized dynamics is shown to be controllable, provided that there is no resonance in the system.
