A rock isn't an aeroplane. It isn't flying suspended in the air mass as the paper dart is, it's falling through it. Comparison invalid.

If you want to demonstrate that a steady wind has no effect on a flying machine other than to affect track and ground speed, a hot air balloon, an A380, and Concorde would be good examples to use.
