You mean crab relative to heading, not side slip, but you get the point.
No, I mean side slip -- if you want both the heading and the ground track to remain aligned with the runway. But that constraint is only necessary on the ground. In the air, you could, of course, simply eliminate the lateral force by yawing into wind, but you can also oppose the lateral force by banking into wind.
