Birds possess a bone called carpometacarpus, which is what allows them to fold up their wings; tyrannosaurus rex lacks this bone, and so do some flightless birds. Additionally, the upper part of the humerous would have to socket in a more elevated position while connected to a keeled sternum, (something particularly found in flying animals) and many other parts would have to be modified in order for tyrannosaurus rex to even achieve flight. Not to mention, they lack the attachment points for a long structure to support a wing. They did not have bat wings either because bats are mammals, whilst tyrannosaurus rex is a reptile more closely related to birds. Tyrannosaurus rex already had two fully functional hands with independent mobile fingers and large claws attached, not to mention they could lift up to 460 pounds so drawing to the conclusion they had wings just illustrates lack of education. The reason for their small arms, which "may not make sense," is because early tyrannosaurs had large, grasping arms utilized in catching their prey, but overtime they began to use their jaws in prey catching, so their head grew larger as a result. To compensate, their arms began to shrink, which is what cultivated species like tyrannosaurus rex; a large head balanced by a heavy tail.
