Anyone here a physics genius? I'm trying to figure out the equation to calculate how long it takes to cover a distance starting at 0 velocity and accelerating up to full speed in a scenario where there is no gravity, yet there is still drag. Hopefully some of you folks have some ideas. I've been working on this for over a week now.

What kind of propulsion are you modeling? Drag's obviously a function of velocity, so I can see things getting messy in a hurry. It's obviously going to involve integration over time. A coasting example may be Vt = V0 - time*Drag Force{function of V}/mass, integrate with respect to the variable time and you should have distance.
