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’m going to argue the opposite of what one would expect here. I am imagining a large jet here. One would expect a wind blowing west to east to cause a plane to veer east. But I believe we have to look at the big vertical tail on the back. This tail would catch more of the wind causing a stronger force, therefore spinning the plane around at the back. So an east to west wind would cause the plane to turn east and the engines would push it that new direction.
Or I could simply say that a wind from the west would push 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The airplane would gradually (or swiftly depending on how strong the wind is) turn into the wind.
