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?

A southeastern wind, it would remain north for a second or two.

Velocity starts changing as soon as there is a net force on the airplane, which happens right away. It would take a couple of seconds to notice the change, but the change would begin accumulating immediately.

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

The plane will keep veering to the right, following a circular path.
