What immediately comes to mind would be a race course, buffered from ambient wind, embedded within the stadium, high crash-wall, environment. Like The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or Phoenix International Speedway where I observed the Solar 500.
A laminar aircraft is designed for 'flight' conditions, up and away from terrestrial effects, such as Earth's boundary layer.
Hucho depicted an Urban boundary layer extending to around 525-meters AGL.
According to MIRA, there are only, on average, 7-days a year in England, free of terrestrial turbulence.
