???? The airplane doesn't "know" anything.
?It doesn't know that when air pressure is less on any one side of it that it's supposed 
to go in that direction. It doesn't know that when we apply throttle, it's supposed to 
go forward. We create these situations with inputs and the airplane responds. The 
airplane doesn't know to fly slower against the wind, and faster down wind. It's a matter
of physics and what the airplane is designed to do. If wind is forced against the side of 
the airplane, no, it does not know what's going on, but it will react. Just as if another 
airplane were to plow into the side of it. It's going to move.
