We're trying to make the airplane fly straight down at a reasonable speed, and kind of making it so it works for our needs…

And looks to be just normal skydiving suits from the pictures in the article which look to be from practice jumps.
In my mind, the plane has to be going to straight down but slowed via those specially modified air brakes. Straight down is the easiest and perhaps only trajectory that a skydiver can chase and catch up to.
I mean a circling plane can fly and maintain altitude or lose less but even with a wingsuit, an unpowered human is going to always lose altitude. So if you have one item always falling at some rate, the only way to link up with another item is that it would have to be falling as well.
