How to Evaluate Thrust for given coefficients of lift and drag?

Thrust for given coefficients of lift and drag evaluator uses Thrust = Drag Coefficient*Weight of Body/Lift Coefficient to evaluate the Thrust, The Thrust for given coefficients of lift and drag is the amount of propulsive force needed to maintain level flight while producing the specified lift and overcoming aerodynamic drag, in level flight, the thrust required is equal to the drag experienced by the aircraft, the drag force is determined by the aerodynamic coefficients of lift and drag, as well as other factors such as air density, velocity, and reference area. Thrust is denoted by T symbol.
