The purpose of the fenestron is to counter the torque (rotational force) generated by the main rotor system- without it, the helicopter would simply spin on the spot. The fenestron is controlled using pedals located at the pilot's feet. As an example, when you press the right pedal the aircrft rotates right. The pedals are used in conjunction with the cyclic and collective controls.
