I have been taught that a shut down jet engine produces about the same amount of drag whether it is windmilling or not!

Could this just be a case for the low by-pass jet?

But, still I feel a high by-pass jet will have the same results, due to the fact than all shut down jets effectively become sheets of metal face on to the relative wind!!!
