An airplane seat device comprising:
- at least one airplane seat;
- at least one console arranged in front of the at least one airplane seat with respect to a flight direction extending from a tail to a bow of an airplane;
- and
- at least one airbag element that is configured to protect in a crash event a passenger sitting in the airplane seat from crashing onto the console, wherein
- the at least one airbag element features, in a fully deployed state, at least in a head-impact zone, a thickness that is smaller than a thickness of at least one of a first shoulder-impact zone and a second shoulder-impact zone,
- the at least one airbag element in the fully deployed state of the airbag element forms a concave impact side that has at least a first partial surface and a second partial surface extending at different angles than a seat direction that the at least one airplane seat faces,
- a first peripheral portion of the first partial surface is the first shoulder-impact zone and a second peripheral portion of the second partial surface is the second shoulder-impact zone, and
- the first partial surface and the second partial surface of the concave impact side of the at least one airbag element are laterally spaced apart from each other and merge with each other in the head-impact zone.
