I'm going purely off Band instruments. Most people would assume the Tuba, because it's the biggest, but in reality, it's the Flute, because most of the air goes over the flute without doing anything. (On a tuba, the note you're playing makes a big difference; if you're up in the bass clef proper, you're not actually pushing all that much air and will probably need to breathe for oxygen before you need to breathe for wind, but lower notes ... particularly the "pedal tones," the ones two octaves below the staff that look like piccolo music turned upside down ... are a different matter.)
Oh, dude, the tuba definitely wins the award for the most air-guzzling instrument in the band. It's like the air tank of the ensemble, just constantly chugging away like it's training for a marathon. So, if you're looking to impress with your lung capacity, maybe skip the flute and go straight for the tuba.
The tuba is typically considered the band instrument that requires the most air to play due to its large size and low pitch range. The tuba's large mouthpiece and long tubing require a significant amount of air to produce its deep, resonant sound. Players must have strong breath support and lung capacity to sustain notes and phrases on the tuba effectively.
Many disagree over which instrument uses the most air. Many believe the tuba requires the most air, being among the largest wind instruments, but the flute requires more air from the performer. Much air is lost as the player blows across the mouth of the flute, rather than into it.
In the brass family, lower notes tend to require more air (on the same instrument) than higher notes. Pedal tones, particularly on a tuba, are difficult to sustain for more than a few seconds. In contrast, if you're in a brass instrument's upper range, it's likely that you'll need to breathe for oxygen long before you need to breathe for wind.
No Tuba and Flute take the same amount of air but tuba takes more air when playing low notes.

What does air column mean in musical terms?
Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
What kind of instrument is a flute?
Yes! The flute is part of the woodwind instrument family.In the Renaissance Period, flutes actually had a small reed in them (much like an oboe reed). This is why they were originally classified as a woodwind instrument, and it has stuck since.Yes a flute is a woodwind, even if it is made of metal.

Difference Between Plant air and instrument air?
Plant air refers to compressed air used for general plant operations and equipment, while instrument air is a specific type of compressed air of higher quality used to operate pneumatic instrumentation and control devices that require clean and dry air. Instrument air typically has lower moisture content and fewer contaminants than plant air to prevent issues with sensitive instruments.
