It's my understanding that in reality good flute players will play with a very focused air stream(not going all over the place) and take advantage of the venturi effect to move more air through the flute than they are actually blowing past their lips.

Regardless, flute does take a tremendous amount of air with very little resistance and requires an embouchure not all that dissimilar to what is used on tuba.
