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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

I guess a direct blow from the West towards the East would have the most effect. The plane would probably have a slight veer to the east but then make adjustments and get back on course.

If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

It would make a large circular looking shape as the plane would continuously veer eastward a little bit.
