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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
In order for the aircraft to veer toward the east, the wind would have to blow NE (I think). I feel like this question seems simple, but is more complex than it seems. I drew out a x-y plot and drew the airplane traveling N (up the y-axis). Then I drew a line coming from the bottom left quadrant pointing NE in order to veer the plane 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 wind continues to shift until it is perpendicular to the airplane, I think it would travel horizontally. If the plane is on my y-axis, and a wind is coming from the x-axis (perpendicular to plane), then I think it would travel horizontally.
