How to Evaluate Coefficient of Drag for given Thrust and Weight?

Coefficient of Drag for given Thrust and Weight evaluator uses Drag Coefficient = (Thrust*Lift Coefficient)/Weight of Body to evaluate the Drag Coefficient, The Coefficient of Drag for given thrust and weight is a dimensionless quantity that represents the aerodynamic drag experienced by an object moving through a fluid, it quantifies the resistance encountered by the object due to factors such as friction and pressure, this equation suggests that the drag coefficient can be determined based on the thrust generated by the propulsion system, the lift coefficient representing the aerodynamic lift, and the weight of the object. Drag Coefficient is denoted by CD symbol.
