"Torque steer" in aircraft is referred to as "P factor" and occurs 
mostly during climb to altitude. Real torque steer is noticeable in 
aircraft with a single powerful engine when initiating takeoff roll 
and using a lot of power. eg, P-51 Mustang needs a lot of rudder on 
takeoff with 50" manifold pressure or more.
