If an airplane is flying north, from what direction would the wind be blowing to most effectively cause the aircraft to veer toward the east?
• What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The wind would blow from the west. The plane would continue moving north, but it would slowly move more north east.

• If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the plane kept level, the wind constantly shifted, and the plane the plane never forced itself to stay north, the plane would fly in circles.
