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 think that the wind would have to come from the North-west.

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

answer/question/discussion:

The plane will keep going straight, however, it will push the plane in the direction that it is blowing.
