How to Evaluate Coefficient of Drag for given Thrust-to-Weight Ratio?

Coefficient of Drag for given Thrust-to-Weight Ratio evaluator uses Drag Coefficient = Lift Coefficient*Thrust-to-Weight Ratio to evaluate the Drag Coefficient, The Coefficient of Drag for given Thrust-to-Weight Ratio suggests that the drag coefficient is directly proportional to both the lift coefficient and the thrust-to-weight ratio, this implies that as the lift coefficient or thrust-to-weight ratio increases, the drag coefficient also increases proportionally. Drag Coefficient is denoted by CD symbol.
