A new device called the Soarigami seeks to put an end to armrest wars on airlines.

The Soarigami is a plastic device that clips onto an armrest and splits the space between two people with a wall. It also has two pieces of plastic that extend out from its sides that offer both passengers extra armrest room, reports Quartz.

The Soarigami will be released next year and will cost $30. It looks like a paper airplane made out of an airmail envelope. The device’s name roughly translates from Japanese to “sky graceful” in English, Quartz notes.

A similar device called the Knee Defender is available to airline passengers that are looking to keep their knee room. However, users should be warned that there have been issues with using the device and some airlines have banned it.
