AC with hybrid electric propulsion

OK, it seems that electrical drive of propellers is on the road ...

But are anybody knowing of an attempt to develop electrical/hybrid "regenerative braking" ?
I mean propellers capable to change pitch to run as RATs along with reversible electric motors switched to generating regime ? I think that on a long descent there are a lot of energy which could be "harvested"
