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

Coefficient of Lift for given Thrust-to-Weight Ratio evaluator uses Lift Coefficient = Drag Coefficient/Thrust-to-Weight Ratio to evaluate the Lift Coefficient, The Coefficient of Lift for given Thrust-to-Weight Ratio suggests that the lift coefficient is inversely proportional to the thrust-to-weight ratio and directly proportional to the drag coefficient, this implies that as the thrust-to-weight ratio decreases, the lift coefficient increases to compensate, and vice versa, this equation represents a balance between aerodynamic forces (lift and drag) and propulsive forces (thrust) to maintain stable flight conditions. Lift Coefficient is denoted by CL symbol.
