Throughout the movie he only used it on people. Maybe it had some sort of restriction and wouldn't work on the turbine?
Plus, that would not have helped his situation any. One of his flight boots was compromised as well, he was fleeing for his life via the cape being pulled in, the plane was already damaged. Stopping the turbine would have meant him tumbling down with the plane and crashing from a highrise's height anyway.
Might be a weak explanation. The strongest one is "he panicked".
