But in this case it appears that the engine did just that.

It didn't stall, it quit. Airplane engines don't stall, airplane wings
stall, airplane engines quit. It's an english thing.

Airplane engines stall also. Stall is a perfectly good word to use when
an airplane engine stops turning. They don't always stop, but if they
do, they have stalled. I suspect engines were stalling before airplane
wings were stalling. :-)
