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 have to blow from the NW, pushing it in the direction, just east of north for a second or so, then eventually pushing it 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: will make a circle if the wind keeps changing to be perpendicular with the path.

Good, but on the first question wind blowing directly from the west would most effectively make the craft veer toward the east.
