According to Gemini, At 800,000 RPM, the outside edge of a 2-inch fan would be moving at approximately 4,760 mph (miles per hour).For context, that is about 6.2 times the speed of sound (Mach 6.2). At this hypersound velocity, the centrifugal forces would immediately tear any physical fan blade apart!

Yep. I made the same calculation. And, if the fan blade was even larger than that it would be even higher.
