At the risk of beating a dead horse in the pursuit of accuracy, the "fowler" designation means that on extension
the flap moves aft, then down via a track, drive screw or external hinge, increasing wing chord, wing area and altering the chordline of the wing.
A fowler flap may have one, two, three or more segments. The B-737 and B-727 for instance have a multiple segment, multi slotted fowler flap
driven by internal jackscrews (hydraulic, I believe), while all single engine Cessnas since the C-150 have a single slotted fowler flap driven by an
electric motor that ride in a track similar to those sold by Robart website:

Review of the following pics will show that both Boeing jets and single engine Cessas have fowler flaps, differing only in their size and complexity...
