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?
It should be blowing from the west.
*
What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?

It would start to veer, so it would still be going north, but it would be a tiny bit tilted into the first quadrant (or to the east), and as time goes on, it would tilt more to the 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> scussion:
It would just go in a circle, I believe. The force would constantly be tilting it to the right of the wind, and the perspective changes as the position/direction of the wind changes. So it would be a clockwise circle, assuming the wind started from the left.
