No journal is interested?

For a 747-100 starting a climb at 10,000 ft to a higher cruising altitude, the flight manual specifies 290 kts as climb speed. My study shows that B747-100 can climb at 40 kt higher speed and still save fuel. This may apply to other aircraft types as well. I sent this article to 2 journals, AIAA and AST, they both refused to consider it. Does anyone know of a journal that might be interested?
