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

 With the plane oriented 90 degrees towards the north, then estimate that the wind would gust from about 20 to 30 degrees south east and veer the nose of the plane northeast. It would have to a lot of wind blowing around this angle to cause it to fully turn east without the intervention of a pilot.

• 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 it remained directly perpendicular (wind gusting west) to the aircraft traveling north, then the aircraft would still be pointed north, but may be nudged to the east as it is headed north.
