Traveling in the longest single-running elevator up 148 floors (1,821 ft) at 22 mph, how long does it take to get to the top of Dubai's Burj Khalifa?

Answer Less than a minute

The Burj Khalifa climbs 2,716.5 feet and stands at 163 stories. However, its outdoor terrace and lounge stands on the 148th floor at 1,821 feet. Traveling at 22 mph (in other words, around 32.25 feet per second), it will take you under a minute to reach the 148th floor – around 56.5 seconds, to be precise.
