With an initial speed of 0 mph, accelerating at an average of 5.47g, the "thing" would be traveling at 7,199.67 mph after 1 minute of travel:

For comparison, it takes the SR-71 Blackbird 12 minutes to reach 2,200 mph. Based on the above calculations, we can surmise that it only takes the Tic Tac 18.3 seconds to reach the same speed.

Eighteen (18) seconds for the Tic Tac, seven hundred twenty (720) seconds for humans.

This thing is 39.27x faster than one of the fastest planes we've ever built.
