I'm looking for references to what the weight distribution is for different aircraft.

I would assume, for a Cessna 172, it's something like 10% of the aircraft weight is supported by the nose gear and the remaining is split evenly between the 2 main gear?

Any pointers to reference documents are most appreciated.
