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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the wind blew from the southwest toward northeast, the aircraft would veer to the east. The wind coming from the direction would apply a force on the left side of the plane. If it hit the plane near the wing, or above (near the cockpit), the plane would be pushing to the right, in the east direction.
It would follow the path of the wind pushing it, to make it in line with the force until the plane was corrected to maintain it's original position.

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 be consisitently pushed in the direction the wind travels. If the plane continues to travel north, the wind will either push from the West or the East as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion.
