While pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that lived during the Age of Dinosaurs, were not dinosaurs, paleontologists now classify modern birds as dinosaurs. There was also the relatively recent discovery of microraptor, a small feathered relative of velociraptor that may have had a limited flight capability.
The dinosaurs able to take flight were the Anhanguera, Cearadactylus, Ctenochasma, Dsungaripterus, Gnathosaurus, Ornithocheirus, Ornithodesmus, Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, Pterodaustro, Quetzalcoatlus, and the Tropeognathus

No dinosaurs could fly. Pterosaurs (flying 'reptiles'), sometimes called pterodactyls, lived at the same time as the dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era) but in fact come from a separate class of vertebrates. Some genera of pterosaurs include:
Ornithocheirus
Pteranodon
Pterodactylus
Quetzalcoatlus
Rhamphorrhynchus
Sordes
Tapejara
There were pterosaurs such as pterodactyl and pteranodon, but these techically were no dinosaurs even though they were often referred to as such.
However, nowadays many scientists consider birds to be dinosaurs.
Answer2: Reptiles That Fly
One intriguing type of ancient reptile was the pterosaur ("winged lizard"), which includes the pterodactyl ("winged finger"). But these were not dinosaurs, nor were they birds. They were flying reptiles and are classified with other reptiles such as dinosaurs and crocodiles. Some of them had wingspans of 25 feet [8 m]. One discovered in Texas in 1975 indicates that some had wingspans of more than 50 feet [15 m]. These were perhaps the largest animals ever to fly.
While pterosaurs had the teeth, skull, pelvis, and hind feet of a reptile, they in no way resembled the reptilian dinosaurs. And while they appeared to be a bird with stiff aerodynamic wings, they were much different. Like birds, the pterosaurs had hollow bones and few flexible joints in wings and ankles. However, a bird's wings use feathers rather than a membrane as was the case with the pterosaurs. And the fourth finger of the pterosaur forelimb extended to support the wing membrane. In the bird the second finger is the principal support of the wing.
No Dinosaurs could fly, you may be thinking of Pterosaurs. A few Pterosaurs are: Pterodactylus, Pteranodon, Dimorphodon, and Quetzalcoatlus.
none of the dinosaurs were able to fly.
Most did not. There were only very few like the pterodactyl capable of flight
Pterodactylus and other flying reptiles, collectively known as pterosaurs, do not belong to the clade Dinosauria, and thus aren't dinosaurs. This is because they did not evolve from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. All dinosaurs were terrestrial animals, and with the exception of birds, they couldn't fly. All pterosaurs were winged quadrupeds, and at least most of them were capable of flight.

The bat is the only mammal that has 'true' flight. All other 'flying' mammals are gliders.

Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. Their wings are like hands with skin stretched between modified finger bones.Bats and most birds a capable of sustained flight, and they are vertebrates
Tyrannosaurus belonged to the clade Coeluosauria. Coelurosauria includes birds, maniraptorans, and Tyrannosaurs. However, birds did not descend from Tyrannosaurus or any of its immediate relatives.

Aeronautics (Greek, meaning, "air navigation") is the science involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of flight-capable machines, or the techniques of operating flight-capable machines.
The only reptiles capable of true flight were pterosaurs.
