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

The wind would have to be blowing from the west to the east to cause the aircraft to veer toward the east; the plane would follow a Northeast path for the first few seconds.

• 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 the direction of motion is north and the wind keeps shifting perpendicular to this direction of motion, I would say that the plane still follows a Northern path.
